Growing up in a loving home, brothers Peter and Matthew are crazy about each other, but also constantly at each other's throats. Displaying their individual idiosyncrasies-Peter is obsessed with the TV show Survivor, while younger brother Matthew struggles to overcome his intense fear of dogs-the brothers spend one formative summer in their suburban Maryland neighborhood. Ben Mullinkosson's revealing and endearing film DON'T BE A DICK ABOUT IT is an affectionate portrait of brotherly love and family life in America.
