The Oranges

The Oranges is a 2011 American comedy-drama about two neighbouring families in a New Jersey suburb whose long-standing friendship is upended by an unexpected romance. Nina Ostroff returns to her parents' home on Orange Drive for Thanksgiving after five years away and a broken engagement. Instead of taking an interest in Toby, the successful son of the neighbouring Walling family, as everyone expects, she becomes involved with his father, David, her parents' close friend. Once the relationship becomes impossible to hide, both households are forced to deal with the consequences.

The film was directed by Julian Farino, the second of the three features listed for him, following Byron and preceding The Union. Ian Helfer and Jay Reiss wrote the screenplay, and the cast includes Leighton Meester, Hugh Laurie, Alia Shawkat, Allison Janney, Catherine Keener and Adam Brody among twenty-five credited performers. It runs 90 minutes.

Made for a budget of 7 million dollars, the film took in about 2 million dollars worldwide. On IMDb it holds a rating of 5.8 from roughly 14,000 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 5.5 from 523 votes. A critics' rating of 4.9 from 76 reviews places it below both audience scores.
