Plot Summary : |
"The Thing About My Folks" teams two singular talents - legendary actor Peter Falk ("The Inlaws," "Columbo") and writer/actor Paul Reiser ("Diner," "Mad About You") – for a hilariously truthful look at family and marriage. Directed by Raymond De Felitta, "The Thing About My Folks" follows a father and son who set out on an impromptu road trip in the wake of mom’s unexpected flight after 47 years of marriage.
Ben Kleinman (played by Reiser) knows that his mother wrote a farewell to Sam Kleinman (Peter Falk) once before – a letter penned two weeks before his birth and never sent.

Over the next several days and nights, Ben will have th... |
