First of all this is not suppose to be funny. A father dies and leaves the bulk of his 2.5 million to his mentally unstable son, Zach Galifan. Amy Poehler is the sister who fights the will. Owen Wilson is the weather man on TV who tries to keep Galifan sane. What happens to the money? What happens to the store? Finally smething does change for all the characters, and it wasn't an easy road. The tone is consistent with an upper class family trying to readjust after the patriarch dies. This is one of Owen Wilson's best.
