Wendy Savage (Laura Linney) is a struggling East Village playwright, who spends her days applying for grants, stealing office supplies, and dating her very married neighbor. Jon (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is an obsessive compulsive college professor writing obscure books on even more obscure subjects who still can’t commit to his girlfriend after four years.
They are forced to return home when their father Lenny Savage (Philip Bosco) goes off the deep end and his kids are the only ones who can help him. With Wendy and Jon living under one roof for the first time since they were kids, it's not too long before they start driving each other crazy.
Laura Linney earned an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for The Savages
