The Daytrippers

Greg Mottola’s feature debut, teeming with deadpan humor and surprising emotional weight, established him as a voice of the ‘90s indie scene. After discovering a love letter written to her husband (Stanley Tucci), Eliza (Hope Davis) rallies her bombastic Long Island family to embark on a quest to uncover the truth. The group—sister (Posey) and pretentious boyfriend (Schriber), her headstrong mom (Anne Meara), and reserved father (McNamara)—traipses New York City in pursuit of answers throughout a detour-filled day that sends the family through the ringer as new revelations come to light and old familial schisms rear their heads.
