Noah Baumbach’s dysfunctional family dramedy stars Adam Sandler in his best dramatic role since ‘Punch-Drunk Love’ alongside Dustin Hoffman and Ben Stiller.
We’re all a little bit embarrassed by our parents, especially the parental types who don’t seem to give a hoot about what anyone else thinks of them.
