Marvel as children deal with their father's madness--well or badly.
Alan Arkin plays Murray Abromowitz, a troubled single father who turns his children's' lives upside-down--again and again--in an attempt to resolve his own inner conflicts. This is all quite charming and funny. That is, until the darker side of his existence begins to surface.
His eldest child Rita (Marissa Tomei) has found a shaky equilibrium away from home, whereas his younger daughter Vivian (Natasha Lyonne) is finding a more graceful way to balance growing up with her father's nuttiness.
Watch as just how Daddy got so screwed up suddenly appears before your very eyes.
Carl Reiner shows up as his successful, snobbish--and sadistic--older brother.
I refuse to spoil the movie for any human being who hasn't seen it yet.
I can't say just how wonderful this movie is!
