Yale scholar Matt Carter (William McNamara) introduces his wealthy fiancée, Allison (Lori Loughlin), to his family, and initially everything goes smoothly. However, it isn't long before Allison learns that Matt has lied to her about his relatives to mask their failures and dysfunctions. His brother, Tim (James Carrey), flunked out of school and developed a drinking problem, and Matt struggles to keep his own troubling secret from his less than tolerant parents (James B. Sikking, Bibi Besch).

Carrey fans will be disappointed that his character pretty much gets lost in the shuffle.

The cinematography is weak, the framing is off and the performances, at times, are trying.

Rated: 61/100

I normally like such movies where families grow or come to understand their issues. That part of this film was fine, but I found the resolution of the movie all a bit too neat. Most of the time, when you throw in a suicide attempt, a coming out, realization you are an alcoholic into a weekend, it doesn't come out tied in a nice bow.

Adorable time capsule depicting a family in which EVERYONE IS TOTALLY FUCKED UP -- particularly the closeted gay son (who is dreamy). Jim Carrey is his brother, a sad drunk.
