A successful psychologist with a picture-perfect family and a best-selling self-help book that's fast racking up sales hires a dogged detective to investigate his brother's claim that he was actually adopted, only to watch as his life falls to pieces in the aftermath in a dark
comedy about success and family starring
Danny DeVito,
Kathy Bates,
Ron Livingston, and
Neve Campbell.
Dr. Richard Clayton (
Livingston) has everything a man could ever want in life: a loving fiancée (
Campbell), two loving parents who are always there to support him (
Edward Hermann and
Christine Baranski), and a career that's on the fast track to success. When
Richard's embittered brother (
Bob Odenkirk) resentfully tells his sibling that he was adopted, however, the once-thriving specialist embarks on a tireless quest to locate his true birth parents. Though his dreams of finding his biological mother and father fade into a nightmare when a private investigator reveals to
Richard that he was in fact conceived by crude carnies
Frank and
Agnes Manure (
DeVito and
Bates) -- who subsequently make it their mission in life to make
Richard miserable -- the desperate doctor soon finds that even if he can't stand his real parents, he has learned a valuable life lesson from them.
