About this movie

Leonardo DiCaprio (TITANIC, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN) drives an electrifying performance as the criminally rebellious son in this funny and stirring tale of one family's humor and heartache. Seventeen years ago, fiercely independent Lee (Meryl Streep -- ADAPTATION) left home ... and left behind her kindhearted sister Bessie (Diane Keaton -- THE FIRST WIVES CLUB) to care for their father, Marvin (Hume Cronyn). But now Lee is returning with her teenage son (DiCaprio), for a homecoming that's sure to turn the entire household upside down! Also starring Robert DeNiro (CASINO), this entertaining motion picture proves that people you know the least may be the ones you need the most!

Ratings and reviews

This movie is a depiction of what family is. How we can love people but not really like them! The acting is second to none Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep and a young Leonardo DiCaprio bring their A game! It has sentimentality but it also has some laughs

Amazing , heartwarming and most deserving to be celebrated!!! I loved this film from start to finish it depicts real family struggles and how we need each other to get through life.

This movie will make you laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. It's really heartwarming, and a good pick!!!
