SynopsisPortrays the colorful, freethinking Sycamore family and the mayhem that ensues when their daughter's fianc‚ brings his conservative, straight-laced parents to the Sycamore residence for dinner on the wrong night. Literal and figurative fireworks erupt over the course of the evening in a household that appears to be a madhouse but proves, in fact, to be the opposite: a sanctuary from the lunacies of the outside world.
