1h 36m
Directed by Joan Micklin Silver • 1999 • United States
Starring Jerry Stiller, Anne Meara, Mark Ruffalo
Legendary comedy duo (and real-life husband and wife) Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara star as the constantly bickering couple at the center of this sprightly comedy from writer-director Joan Micklin Silver. When Sam (Stiller) stubbornly refuses to get rid of the new pet carp he’s unleashed in their bathtub, Molly (Meara) finally decides she’s had enough and moves in with their married son Joel (a young Mark Ruffalo). Desperate to get his mother out of his hair (and house), Joel enlists his boy-crazed travel-agent sister (Jane Adams) to help repair their parent’s relationship—even as he’s tempted toward infidelity by a flirtatious client (Pamela Gray).
