Summary:
Spanking the monkey: Looking forward to a prestigious summer internship in Washington, D.C., pre-med college student Raymond has his dreams put on hold when he's forced to stay at home caring for his invalid mother. Constantly harassed by his domineering, traveling salesman father, Raymond struggles to deal with his mother's bed-ridden anxieties, and with his first stumbling attempts to romance the naive girl next door. Simple men: Two brothers go after their father, a former all-star shortstop and mad-bomber anarchist, when he breaks out of jail, and discover on their trek through deepest, darkest Long Island that sometimes even the oddest things really are just what they seem. Lucky stiff: A comic fable about dating, mating and meatloaf surprise. The story of a family that takes its "meatloaf surprise" to a grisly new level.
