OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS

The ties that bind – and sometimes smother  – are explored with uproarious results in this heartwarming comedy about growing up and growing old. Every Sunday, Nick crosses the river to New Jersey and has dinner with both sets of his Italian-American grandparents. When he announces a dream job that will move him to Seattle, his grandparents spring into action! Determined to keep him close, they devise a series of shameless schemes and hilarious shenanigans that will have you roaring in your seat while reminding you of the wonderful zaniness that is family. A warm-hearted, boisterously funny, and touching story about intergenerational relationships, deep familial love, and the inevitable little heartbreaks that occur as time passes and children grow.
