Quote:

The movie is said to be a dark comedy about suburban romance, and the full roster includes Hugh Laurie, Catherine Keener, Leighton Meester, Allison Janney, Oliver Platt, Alia Shawkat, Adam Brody and Sam Rosen. The film is currently being shot in New York by director Julian Farino who, interestingly enough, has directed 23 episodes of Entourage. link

Synopsis:

In the film, the Ostroff and Walling families are best friends and neighbors, living across the street from each other on Orange Drive. Prodigal daughter Nina Ostroff (Meester) returns home for Thanksgiving dinner after a five-year absence, newly broken up with her fiancé Ethan (Rosen). Rather than developing an interest in the successful son of her neighbors, Toby Walling (Brody), which would please both families, it's her parents' best friend David Walling (Laurie) that captures Nina's attention. When the romantic attraction between Nina and David Walling becomes too great to ignore, the lives of the two families are thrown into upheaval.

It is not long, however, before the ramifications of the affair begin to work on the other family members in unexpected, hilarious and even positive ways, leading everyone to reassess what it means to be happy, and how to find happiness with, and perhaps in spite of, your own family and friends.

What is he doing? Is he throwing him out of the house? Tackling him? Who is that? And I think the clean shaven look might be more in character. And I think he's wearing a hair piece.

I already said told you, don't piss Hugh off, he'll throw you out no matter what

Don't recognize the actor, but the clean shaven look is awesome

The goatee would have been hot but I guess the look would be too much like House

Thanks for the thread Kali
