Alice Sycamore’s family is a wacky group of eccentrics, building fireworks in the basement, collecting snakes, writing plays, ballet dancing and playing the xylophone. Things like stress, jobs and paying taxes to the government are for other people, not for them! When her strait-laced fiancee’s family arrive for dinner, can her family straighten up to meet the new in-laws? This madcap, idealistic comedy reinforces the idea that you can only live to the fullest by doing whatever makes you happy.
