Comedy starring John Larroquette and Kirstie Alley. A young couple's dreams of happiness in their new suburban home are shattered when the husband's obnoxious cousin and his wife decide to visit. And this is only the beginning of their troubles.
Long before Monty Woolley outstayed his welcome in The Man Who Came to Dinner, the unwanted guest had been a staple of cinematic comedy. The situation is taken to its extreme in this uneven farce, in which Kirstie Alley and John Larroquette find their new love nest overrun by the kind of relatives you hope you only see at weddings and funerals. The contrast between down-on-their-luck John Diehl and Jessica Lundy and wealthy wife Alison LaPlaca makes for some contrived satire, but writer/director Tom Ropelewski comes up with a couple of cracking moments, the best involving a spaced-out moggie.
