Storyline

Ted Morgan has been treading water for most of his life. After his wife leaves him, Ted realizes he has nothing left to live for. Summoning the courage for one last act, Ted decides to go home and face the people he feels are responsible for creating the shell of a person he has become. But life is tricky. The more determined Ted is to confront his demons, to get closure, and to withdraw from his family, the more Ted is yanked into the chaos of their lives. So, when Ted Morgan decides to kill himself, he finds a reason to live.

User Reviews

Great Movie, Worth Seeing

There are many laughs to be had and the acting and settings are on point enough never to detract you from the movie. Sean William Scott plays a relatble character that keeps you in engaged and laughing through the entire movie. The supporting cast is equally as fun to watch as the movie unfolds. Rob Riggle and the bother in the movie are fun to watch. I have seen countless movies that do not entertain half as much as this one. They touch upon issues that are faced by families in today's day and age. This should of been released in the movies as I wouldve paid to see it. Easily worth the price of admission. Keep up the great work SWC.
