Welcome to the Rileys

Welcome to the Rileys is a drama about a married couple from Indiana whose relationship has stalled in the years since their teenage daughter died. Doug Riley, adrift in his grief, travels to New Orleans for a work trip and encounters Mallory, an underage stripper and sex worker. He becomes involved in her life as a platonic guardian rather than a client, and his decision to stay in the city tests his marriage further. His wife Lois eventually follows him there, and the presence of the young woman forces both of them to confront what they have become.

Jake Scott directed the film, his second feature after Plunkett & Macleane in 1999 and before American Woman in 2018. Ken Hixon wrote the screenplay, and the cast includes James Gandolfini as Doug, Melissa Leo as Lois, and Kristen Stewart as Mallory, with Ally Sheedy, Joe Chrest and Eisa Davis in supporting roles. It was produced by Scott Free Productions among other companies and runs 110 minutes.

The film was released in October 2010. On IMDb it holds a rating of 6.9 from roughly 26,000 votes, while on TMDB the rating is 6.6 from a much smaller number of votes. A critics' score of 5.6 from 81 reviews places it slightly below the audience figures.
