Izzard camps it up, Screiber plays it down, Hunt quietly combusts, Dennehy just wants to die...
First time screen writer and director: Richard Levine, be proud of your achievement.
The writing is pitch perfect - the humour acerbic and precise.
The observation: like a hawk.
It's not going to move mountains but, as a slice of family life, it's up there with the best.

The(ir) Blurb...
This day really isn't all that different than every other day, except today Ned's gay son Jonah wants to go to a college party, his wife is bringing home her elderly father to live with them, and his outrageous boss seems to have become even more crazy and demanding than would even seem possible. As his wife tries to take care of her father and reconnect with him, Ned tries to reconnect with Jonah, and then without trying, he seems to have formed a connection with his co-worker. If he can get through days like these, he should be able to get through anything else life throws at him.
