Short description

When a celebrated TV show host returns to his hometown in the South, his family is there to remind him that going home is no vacation!

What's left behind the scenes

According to comedian Louis C.K., he was given a large role in the film without an audition, but he couldn't prepare properly – he forgot his lines during filming and was generally "just terrible," so it was decided to remove his part from the film.
