Oscar nominated Laura Linney shines in this critically acclaimed comedy-drama about the joys and conflicts of a brother and sister. Sammy (Linney) and Terry (Mark Ruffalo) lead opposite lives, but have had an unbreakable bond since being orphaned years earlier. After leading a carefree and careless lifestyle, the wayward brother steps back into Sammy and her son Rudy's lives. Terry alternately clashes with, disappoints and inspires his sister, while becoming a hero to, and a bad influence on, his young nephew.......The Adademy Award nominated screenplay follows the ups and downs of a unique brother-sister relationship, as each struggles to forge their own lives despite the sometimes-destructive instinct to lean on each other. At its heart, the message is simple: no one can let us down, build us up and love us through it all like family.
