Product Description

They wanted Daddy's loveÂ...but they'll settle for his dough! A "terrific cast" (Leonard Maltin) – including Beau Bridges, Beverly D'Angelo, Tess Harper and Judge Reinhold – star in this wickedly funny comedy of heirs about a Texas family who gather to mourn – and perhaps to mine – the memory of their dear ole dad. Scheming Orville (Bridges), nympho Evalita (D'Angelo), loyal Sara Lee (Harper) and self-righteous Lurlene (Amy Wright) are all very frantic when they learn that their daddy's dyin'Â...mostly because they can't find his last legal will and testament! But as old grudges and suppressed desires are aired, this family reunion becomes a wild free-for-all – and a "touching, unpredictable [and] affectionate drama" (San Francisco Chronicle)!

Customer Reviews

One to see
I caught this movie accidentally on cable and fell in love immediately. The characters and interactions are colorful and entertaining with plenty of one-line humor as well as "inside jokes" that will keep you wanting to know more about the family as individuals and as a unit. From Beverly D'Angelo's (Evalita) provacative singing, Molly McClure's (Mama Wheelis) witty honesty, Judge Reinholds (Harmony) golden locks, all the way down to the dysfunctional relationship between Beau Bridges (Orvil) and Patrika Darbo (Marlene) I think you'll also find this to be one of the best comedy drama movies ever.

Family Ties are Stronger than Anything
If you believe that a close family is important, then you will like this movie. All of the siblings in this movie come together in their childhood home because their father is dying. They all have their ups and downs, and there are many disagreements. Despite all of the sibling rivalries in the end their love for each other wins out. Anyone who watches this will be able to identify with a lot of the situations in this movie, which will make it that much more memorable. This is one movie that is worth getting

Made in Texas
If you were raised in Texas, you will really be able to appreciate this film. And if you come from a large family, these characters will look awfully familiar. This is one of my favorite films.
