This story was a real life family drama. It's about 2 middle aged kids whom are estranged from their father. He lives across the country and is slowly developing dementia. His girlfriend dies and they must come get him and take him home. They place him in a nursing home. It's stressful on everyone. His daughter, Wendy, is having an affair with a married man and is not that successful at writing plays. His son, Jon, is not married and seems not to care that his girlfriend must leave because her green card ran out. Both kids must rely on each other to deal with their father.
The movie has a humorous tone to it. It's not a hard nosed drama. Also the acting was good. But Linney and Hoffman usually deliver good performances.
FINAL VERDICT: The acting and story make it entertaining enough to watch.
