The last thing Eddie Mills (Larry Clarke) wants to do is go home to deal with his dying Dad (Brian Dennehy). But the Catholic guilt gnaws at him, and he returns home to his crazy family, an overbearing step-mother (Leslie Ann Warren) , and his bear of a father. Once there, Eddie is confronted with a revelation that forces him to deal with the past he has always avoided.
This movie is simply an endless stream of cliches and stereotypes about dysfunctional and toxic families, with no plot whatsoever. The film consists of a series of flashbacks of the family bickering in various circumstances, with no real comedy or drama. The only way anyone could find this entertaining is if their life was so perfect that they have never experienced an argument before. It has the tone of a sitcom, and an unfunny one at that.
