The thing about my folks

Ben (Paul Reiser) is a writer who lives in New York with his wife Rachel (Elizabeth Perkins), and three daughters. One night his father, Sam (Peter Falk), unexpectedly shows up, and that means trouble. Ben's mother has run away from home, leaving a note to Sam making it clear she is very unhappy with the life they have led and the marriage they shared. While Ben's sisters and wife begin a search, Ben takes Sam on a trip upstate to look at a farmhouse, and it becomes a huge adventure for both.

A warm film in the vein of Sideways and About Schmidt, starring two times Oscar nominated Peter Falk and Paul Reiser (from in Mad About You).
The Thing About My Folks premiered in the US in September 2005.
