Happy Tears

Jayne (Parker Posey) and Laura (Demi Moore) are about to take on the one man they just might not be able to handle: their septuagenarian father, Joe (Rip Torn). Laura suspects that Joe requires full-time care, and Jayne’s compulsion to deny this reality only makes matters more confusing. Tensions flare and more than a few uncomfortable truths are “dug up” but their adventures back home are not without magic, mischief and mayhem.

Critic Reviews:

• " You don't necessarily believe these are real folks but boy they sure are entertaining. " – Richard Knight

• " Hollywood's strong female actors have in Lichtenstein a young talent who gives them the roles they deserve. " – Amy Nicholson

• " In the role of a dialed-down, capable woman, Demi Moore suggests dramatic possibilities for future roles. She projects a kind of calm, and it's attractive. " – Roger Ebert
