Trailer & Synopsis
The feature debut of writer-director Greg Mottola (Superbad), The Daytrippers is a perfect 90s deadpan comedy gem. When she discovers what may be a love letter to her husband, Eliza (Hope Davis) turns to her tight-knit Long Island family for help— piling into the family station wagon to confront the potential philanderer at his job in Manhattan and embarking on an odyssey of oddball encounters along the way. The talented ensemble cast, including legendary character actors Anne Meara and Pat McNamara alongside indie cinema royalty Parker Posey and Liev Schreiber, bring out biting humour and even a little pathos in this kinda-loving portrait of affectionate familial dysfunction.
