Sometimes the fruit falls very far from the tree.

Written by and starring Paul Reiser (everyone's favourite corporate slimeball, Burke, in Aliens) The Thing About My Folks is a heart-warming tale of family bonds and enduring love.

After 47 years of marriage, Ben's (Reiser) mother unexpectedly leaves her husband. With no where else to turn, Ben's father Sam (Falk) is forced to spend time and get to know his son. Hysterical antics ensue as Ben and Sam strengthen their father/son relationship while Ben helps his father rekindle the romance with his mother.
