About this movie

Yale scholar Matt Carter (William McNamara) introduces his wealthy fiancée, Allison (Lori Loughlin), to his family, and initially everything goes smoothly. However, it isn't long before Allison learns that Matt has lied to her about his relatives to mask their failures and dysfunctions. His brother, Tim (James Carrey), flunked out of school and developed a drinking problem, and Matt struggles to keep his own troubling secret from his less than tolerant parents (James B. Sikking, Bibi Besch).
