Storyline

In this ensemble comedy set in the heart of Cajun Louisiana, a haplessly ne'er-do-well son returns home from a year in prison, eager to redeem himself in the eyes of his family. Armed with the wisdom of 'the Quantum Secret,' and a whole-hearted but off-beat attempt at a viral internet campaign, he goes about reinventing himself as an alternative medicine doctor. Of course, things don't go exactly as planned... and it's not long before the whole family is embroiled. YOU'RE IN CHARGE is a film about mistakes, high stakes and never giving up... even when maybe you should.

User Reviews

Hilarious, uplifting crowd-pleaser

This family comedy has it all - Truly moving performances from an ensemble cast of apparently just-discovered Cajun actors plus Mary Kay Place. The writing is snappy and clever, and the story is at once classically American, and totally unique to where it was filmed in Lafayette, Louisiana.

A lovable screw-up named Eddie is trying to redeem himself in the eyes of his family, but always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time (at one point, that includes in the middle of a scandal in the Cajuns national football championship game) … And he's often accidentally dragging people into the mess with him… but he has so much heart, you're rooting for him through all the absurd things that happen. At the same time, the matriarch Mary Kay Place is trying to keep the family together, and Eddie's sister and brother-in-law are getting ready for a home birth of their baby which is a wild adventure in and of itself.

I laughed and cried, and a lot of both at the same time. Highly recommended. Bonus, awesome soundtrack and score of Cajun music i.e. the Red Stick Ramblers, David Greeley, Dirk Powell.
