THE DAYTRIPPERS

When a suburban housewife, Eliza, discovers a love letter in her husband's pocket, it starts a wild, quirky, and ultimately poignant journey through the strained relationships of her entire dysfunctional family. Thinking it must be some misunderstanding, she brings the letter to her unbearably dominating mother, who freaks and piles her passive husband, Eliza's promiscuous sister and her philosophical fiancé into a station wagon and heads off to New York City for an explanation.
