Marc is unemployed and stuck living at home with his obese, cantankerous father, Gerry. Half senile, Gerry will say and do anything to get his way, ordering his son around like hired help. When college friend Andre invites Marc to a party in Manhattan, he leaps at the chance to ditch his dad and have a little harmless fun. But Gerry insists on tagging along. Spouting misanthropic wisdom when he isn’t singing his favorite golden oldies, Gerry challenges Marc to walk a mile in his shoes. What follows is a gross comedy of errors filled with hostile drinking games, inelegant ballroom dancing and plenty of unpacked emotional baggage. This failure to come of age tale proves there’s no good way to break a tie.
