Plot

Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara play Sam and Molly, a married husband and wife whose marriage has been stretched to the brink after 40 years of incessant bickering over the smallest of things, not the least of which is Sam's inexplicable decision to keep a fish in the bathtub. This, along with a daily harangue from the cantankerous Sam, forces Molly to finally pack a bag and go to son Joel's home, which sets the stage for the family to fight through this bump in the road and get life back on track.[3]

Reception

The film has been generally poorly received. Contact Music referred to it as "Just not that humorous".[4] The New York Times criticized the film's dialogue, stating that "...the bickering goes too far..."[5] Killer Movies referred to its plot as "...nothing particularly new or significant or eye-popping..."[6]

gollark: I'm pretty sure that's also impractical.
gollark: On what? There are devices without real time clocks.
gollark: You could easily make it so that some tiny community runs it on their toasters, but if there's ever an actual financial incentive someone *will* fix it.
gollark: Someone could just fix that, and I don't know *how* you would manage to introduce those in a mining algorithm.
gollark: Interesting. Toasters aren't fast, though. So anyone doing it seriously would just port the code to an actual high power computer.
