Plot
When Atticus Smith, an aging Oscar-winning actor, suffers a heart attack, he is forced to embark on a cross-country road trip with his estranged son en route to his daughter’s wedding. Atticus and his son Adam could not be more different; while the former behaves lecherously around women, the latter teaches a feminist-themed university course and is repulsed by his father’s attitudes. Part of Adam’s resentment towards his father stems from Atticus’ unfaithfulness to his mother. Along the road trip, the pair encounter various characters and get roped into misadventures, including a run-in with an old flame of Atticus’.
