The trailer from The Talent Given Us
  • "Crossword puzzles, supermarket runs... Judy and Allen fill in the small moments of their commonplace marriage as best they can. When they run into two former teachers of their son Andrew, they learn of a job opportunity for him. Unfortunately, Andrew is distant in location and in family relations. Suddenly realizing she must embark on a quest to repair that, Judy takes Allen on a cross-country trip to see Andrew and work things out. After they rope in their two unmarried daughters, the family is forced to come together, for better or worse."
  • I know that doesn't sound all that good, but there is more to it. The unique "hook" of this film is that all of the principal characters are played by their real-life counterparts. The author wrote a (semi-fictional) story about his family and persuaded his relatives to play themselves!
