Based on the novel by John Irving, this unusual comedic drama follows the exploits of the eccentric hotel-operating Berry family. While there are many strange dynamics between the various members of the Berry clan, arguably the most unconventional is the almost incestuous relationship that young, handsome John (Rob Lowe) has with his pretty sister, Franny (Jodie Foster). As the patriarch, Win (Beau Bridges), tries to keep his family together, unexpected events occur, changing them all forever.

The characters have little depth, serving mostly as vehicles for odd bits of philosophy. Go to Full Review

Harry S Oct 19, 2018 I had never watched the movie completely before now. This was definitely something else... Never even noticed Matthew Modine before re-watching now that I am older. This truly is an intriguing film, with a very good cast. See more
Finn R Sep 17, 2007 Too deliberately quirky, but always watchable.
