Movie Info

The debut from writer/director Greg Mottola, The Daytrippers follows a Long Island family as they make a disastrous journey into New York City. The impetus is a love letter discovered by suburbanite Eliza (Hope Davis) which seemingly incriminates her publisher husband Louis (Stanley Tucci) in an extramarital affair. To solve the mystery, Eliza, her parents (Anne Meara and Pat McNamara), her oddball sister Jo (Parker Posey) and Jo's boyfriend Carl (Liev Schreiber) all pile into the family station

A spirited cast, including old pros Amma Meara and younger talent Parker Posey and Stanley Tucci, elevates this claustrophobic sitcom (most of whiche is set in a car) into something fluffier and funnier than it actually is.

Unfortunately, to reveal that this funny family movie is bisexual actually will ruin the film for anyone who wants to see it.

Super Reviewer

I hunted down this movie thanks to overwhelmingly good reviews and Parker Posey being in it. Unfortunately Posey's performance was flat, and the movie really wasn't all that funny. Stanley Tucci was great though in a ridiculously small role.
