Jayne and Laura are about to take on the first man they just might not be able to handle: their seventy-something-year-old father Joe. Dutiful daughters returning to the house they grew up in Jayne and Laura are forced to take a closer look at their own not-so-perfect lives while dodging childhood memories. Laura suspects that Joe needs full-time care but Jayne hopes that their father's condition isn't that serious. Joe is still singing and playing his old guitar and the lively widower even has a new ladyfriend shameless and sassy Shelly. But as the visible moments... of their father's impending senility increase so do the dysfunctional family dynamics. Tensions flare as the close sisters must also juggle their own very different lives - Laura's busy schedule as an environmentalist and mother of two small children and Jayne desperate to finally have a baby with her workaholic art-dealing husband Jackson. Their adventures back home are not without magic mischief and mayhem and even a search for buried treasure in the backyard! Any tears that Jayne and Laura might shed will be happy ones. [show more]

Jayne (Parker Posey) and Laura (Demi Moore) are two sisters who need to return home to help with their crude but endearing father Joe (Rip Torn) deal with the beginning stages of Alzheimer s. When they return to their childhood home to help their father, they face difficult, often comic situations. The two daughters argue back and forth over whose job it is to take care of Daddy, and since they both have completely different personalities, they argue over everything from the past as well. It doesn't help that Daddy has a live in stripper/druggie named Shelly (Ellen Barkin) hanging around, and that he's convinced there's buried treasure in the backyard... Featuring an all-star A-list Hollywood cast Demi Moore (Indecent Proposal, Ghost); Parker Posey (For Your Consideration, Superman Returns, The Eye); Rip Torn (Dodgeball, Larry Sanders Show, Men In Black) and Ellen Barkin (Brooklyn s Finest Ocean s Thirteen, Sea Of Love).
