"A father with his wife on life support takes his daughters along on a trip to meet the man with whom she had an affair. Awkwardness reigns supreme in this exceptionally inspired family drama with a realistic and sometimes painfully honest feel. A great character study of the struggles of a man in his forties struggling with the hardships of the situations life has placed him in, and that character comes alive with the great performance by Clooney."
