At first glance, this film seems like a heavy hitter. Based on the acclaimed novel by Jonathan Tropper, it is stacked with an outstanding cast. When the patriarch of a dysfunctional grown-up family passes away, the kids and their families must reunite with their mother in their childhood home for seven days, all while trying not to kill one another. Side note: how many movies will be made about a dysfunctional family full of attractive white people reuniting in New England in the fall (to be a cliche)?
