What The Daytrippers Is About

Eliza finds an unsigned love note addressed to her husband Louis and, unsure what to do, goes to her mother for advice. The result is her entire family packed into a station wagon heading into Manhattan to confront him: mother, father, sister Jo and Jo's boyfriend, all trapped together for one long day. Greg Mottola's first feature gets both comedy and quiet damage out of five people who cannot stop talking to each other, and who choose the worst possible moment for every subject. By evening the note matters less than everything it has forced into the open.
