LOOK THIS GIFT IN THE FACE IF YOU WANT A BIG HORSE-LAUGH

Comedy

After he inherits some money, Harold Bissonette ("pronounced bis-on-ay") decides to give up the grocery business, move to California and run an orange grove. Despite his family's objections and the news that the land he bought is worthless, Bissonette packs up and drives out to California with his nagging wife Amelia and children.

VIBE

A gentle, old-fashioned comedy that feels like a warm hug. It's a charmingly chaotic look at a family chasing a dream, filled with witty banter and a touch of slapstick that’s sure to bring a smile.
