In "normal" middle-class suburban families, kids grow up, move out, and visit only on special occasions. But Morrie Tanager never got to leave. His parents died and left him, and he became the parent, raising two siblings, Ida and Jay, in the home he now shares with his wife, Betty. So it's not surprising this family is a bit askew.
Ida is a promiscuous, broke, unsettled artist
Jay, a reclusive weirdo prone to antisocial experiments
and Morrie, a chronically constipated pleaser, who hasn't had a bowel movement in ages. When Jay goes completely off the deep end and Ida drops in unannounced, the motley clan is thrust under one roof, and childhood dynamics re-emerge - resulting in chaos.
Birds Of America is an eccentric, lyrical comedy with a stellar cast, including Matthew Perry (Friends, 17 Again, The Whole Nine Yards)
Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby, Boys Don't Cry)
Ginnifer Goodwin (He's Just Not That Into You, A Single Man) and Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls, Evan Almighty, Bad Santa)
