“An exceptional film...sharp, intimate, and realistic...adult dramedy done right.” Film School Rejects
When you get married, you’re not just getting a husband or wife—you get the family, the friends, even the exes. Buzzy and Katy are newlyweds. Katy’s meddlesome sister Marcia has been married to Buzzy’s friend Max for 18 years. As Marcia and Max’s marriage is crumbling under the weight of life together as empty-nesters, Buzzy and Katy’s honeymoon period is upended when Buzzy’s wild-child baby sister shows up at the couple’s TriBeCa apartment with more than a little baggage.
With crackling humor and sharp insights into modern relationships, writer/director/actor Edward Burns tracks the tangled threads of these New Yorkers over three days. Aiming to root out the reality and bypassing the Hollywood sentimentality of love and marriage, he takes a documentary approach that is no less visually striking for its on-the-fly style. Shot entirely in TriBeCa, it’s a quintessential New York film from a quintessential New York director. The top-notch ensemble cast includes Burns, Caitlin FitzGerald, Max Baker, Marsha Dietlein Bennett and Kerry Bishé.
