When Wendy Shuman (Kelly Maguire) returns to Los Angeles after a year away at a New York college, family shenanigans mark her homecoming in this wacky coming-of-age comedy set over the course of one zany day. As the family attempts to leave home to attend a birthday party, events conspire to keep them from departing.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot on a shoestring budget in actual Los Angeles homes, giving it that authentic 'someone's aunt's living room' aesthetic.
Part of a forgotten wave of 90s indie family comedies that disappeared between Clerks and Royal Tenenbaums—too polished for mumblecore, too small for studios.
