Another Happy Day

Ellen Barkin stars in this darkly comic story of the emotional roller-coaster of a family gathering. On the eve of her estranged son's (Michael Nardelli) wedding, Lynn (Ellen Barkin), a woman who has always worn her emotions on her sleeve, must deal with her long-simmering feud with her ex-husband (Thomas Haden Church) and his hot-tempered wife (Demi Moore), the disdain of her cold mother (Ellen Burstyn) and distant father (George Kennedy) and the ridicule of her ever-judgmental sisters. And the fact that she brings along her three deeply troubled children (Ezra Miller, Daniel Yelsky, Kate Bosworth) don't make things any easier for Lynn.

Winner of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival Best Screenwriting award.
