Daddy and Them [DVD]

Academy Award Billy Bob Thornton (Best Adapted Screenplay, Sling Blade, 1996) has crafted a must-see motion picture as writer, director and star of this darkly humorous comedy treat. Claude (Thornton) and Ruby (Laura Dern) are a couple madly in love but also often at odds. When news reaches them that Claude's uncle has been arrested and charged with murder, they head to the family homestead in Little Rock to lend their support. Outrageous encounters ensue and anything goes as the dysfunctional family reunites down in America's heartland.
