Synopsis: Welcome to America’s Heartland, home of hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves...and Claude (BILLY BOB THORNTON) and Ruby (LAURA DERN) Montgomery. Never has a couple in these parts been as madly in... Welcome to America’s Heartland, home of hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves...and Claude (BILLY BOB THORNTON) and Ruby (LAURA DERN) Montgomery. Never has a couple in these parts been as madly in love, or as often at odds. When news reaches them that Claude’s Uncle Hazel (JIM VARNEY) has been arrested, they head to the family homestead in Little Rock to lend their support. As the extended family reunites, it quickly becomes clear that, with this bunch, anything goes and everyone speaks their mind. It’s a tasty mix of ambrosia salad, armed robbery, sex talk, head-on collisions, and a Macarena monkey -- all the fixin’s for a love story only Billy Bob Thornton could serve up. The cast of characters includes KELLY PRESTON as Ruby’s sultry sister Rose, DIANE LADD as Ruby’s eccentric mother Jewel, BEN AFFLECK and JAMIE LEE CURTIS as the husband and wife attorneys assigned to the case, BRENDA BLETHYN as Hazel’s worried wife Julia, and ANDY GRIFFITH as the lovable, but slightly senile family patriarch "O.T." -- © 2001 Miramax [More]

  • Daddy & Them
  • Academy Award(R) winner Billy Bob Thornton (Best Adapted Screenplay, SLING BLADE, 1996; MONSTER'S BALL) has crafted another must-see motion picture as writer, director, and star of this darkly humorous comedy treat! Also starring Laura Dern (JURASSIC PARK), Diane Ladd (28 DAYS), and Kelly Preston (THE CAT IN THE HAT), it's the entertaining story of a dysfunctionally funny family from Arkansas that rallies to support their uncle (Jim Varney -- THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES) when he's charged with murder. With Hollywood favorites Andy Griffith, Ben Affleck, and Jamie Lee Curtis in an amazing cast of stars, you'll love the amusing give-and-take dished out by this outrageous collection of characters!
