They really felt like family to me on this wayward life changing roadtrip.

Eh...Not very well acted besides Cloris Leachman. Once the movie ends you can tell what the writer of the story was hoping to accomplish with this film..That old "family trying to rediscover and get over the death that tore them apart" deal but it was a bit of a mess that wasn't helped by the weakness of the actors playing the roles. Again, Cloris Leachman was good, she's a pro,

*** (SMALL) SPOILER ALERT***I think there is a reason why so few people have seen/rated this film. The dialogue is awful (and rarely funny when it aims to be), the character motivations are confusing, the relationships between characters (and other stuff) is very unbelievable. Cloris Leachman is good, Judd Nelson is basically a no-show. Sister Megan is extremely annoying...her brother is slightly easier to take.The worst part of the film is the sheer incompetence. One example only: Philip and Megan's mother is dead. Megan blames herself for it, while Philip tells her that no one blames her for it. We learn very little about the mother, but we find out (in a short scene) that she died of an aneurysm while she and Megan were playing tennis. That's it. WHY WHY WHY would Megan blame herself? And Philip's response to her should be "that doesn't make sense - it had zero to do with you". I think you're supposed to assume that part of the reason that Megan is such a mess is due to her guilt! It's utterly ridiculous.

I stumbled across this movie and watched it without any expectations. I was pleasantly surprised. Philip, the downtrodden good son (James Wolk) is given the responsibility by his father (Judd Nelson) of placing his opinionated grandmother Estelle (Cloris Leachman) in a retirement home. He reluctantly agrees, only to find that his wayward sister Megan (Mickey Summer) decides to tag along for reasons known only to her, resulting in a feel good road trip movie complete with a stash of pot of good measure. Cloris Leachman truly shines as the cantankerous grandmother with a heart, and there are some laugh out loud moments too. The entire cast are perfectly placed in their parts and add richness to an otherwise standard road movie. This really deserves more credit than it's given imo, but hey, check it out for yourself, you might like it
