Living in New York City, Sarah (Jennifer Aniston) must make the cross-country trip back to her home state of California for the wedding of her younger sister (Mena Suvari). Once with her family, Sarah learns some interesting things from her grandmother (Shirley MacLaine), including the family's inspirational ties to the famous film "The Graduate." But all this leads to millionaire Beau Burroughs (Kevin Costner), and Sarah wants answers -- especially since Burroughs might be her real father.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

This riff on The Graduate has a solid cast, but is too lightweight to fully register.

And, as Jeff rather drolly notes, she manages to "make this sound like a police investigation", rather than a comedy... Go to Full Review

Hermione S Mar 18, 2019 truly, truly terrible film. Surprisingly good cast for such a creepy, uncomfortable, incestuous pile of crap. 10/10 would not recommend. See more
Harry G Jan 12, 2019 One of those films whereas the plot's initial setup wraps up during the first third and let the rest be run by cliched plot elements, even if this particular film reverses "The Graduate" under a more awkward yet friendly light with laughable humor and convincingly-emotional heart courtesy of the fine cast with their charming efforts that made the film worth watching. (B) (Full review TBD) See more
Anakin R Jan 4, 2018 Anniston ruined what could have been a great movie, with more development of the Pasadena culture and the characters
Anakin S Aug 27, 2017 2017-08-27 cute enough
Albus R Feb 1, 2017 It's good movie to watch
Luke S Jan 27, 2008 Shirley MacLaine is hilarous in this movie.. but the relationship between Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner grossed me out.. See more
