A bizarre pastiche of family drama and outrageous comedy. Seemingly a good idea, but the elements were so poorly blended that actually, not so much.
Boy raised by dysfunctional parents watches their messy divorce, and ends up stuck with his mentally unstable mother. He ends up under the guardianship of his mother very odd therapist and his very odd family, and starts a relationship with an older, schizophrenic man.
The preview led me to expect a delightfully quirky blend of The Royal Tenenbaums and Tarnation. Instead I was presented with a hateful mix of good performances and some genuinely hilarious moments totally overun by weirdness and poor direction.
I really have no words to describe how I feel about this film except....
Weirdest. Movie. Ever.

i'm pretty sure this movie is based on the writer's childhood.
It is. That doesn't make it a good piece of film. I had so much potential, tragic.
