Kate Stone (Taylor Schilling) is a career focused hedge fund manager. She has no life outside of work. She doesn't have time for lunch with her colleagues and she can barely tolerate it when they need personal time off for family issues. So, Kate is reluctant when her brother begs her to take care of her niece Maddie (Bryn Vale) for a night. What is she supposed to do with an awkward tween that prefers karate to ballet? When the night turns into a week, her life spins out of control. She has no time to sleep, she is late for work and she misses meetings. All of a sudden her young protege Erin (Jessie Ennis) is moving in on her clients. And, her niece wants to run off with the Juggalos. But, through all of the chaos, Kate begins to understand what family is really all about.

This movie is hilarious! The husband and I loved it! This is definitely an adult comedy. But, it made us laugh out loud. It has been a while since I have laughed this hard at a movie. Taylor Schilling is perfect as the work-obsessed, anti-family woman. She didn't even know how to get to her brother's house and he lived nearby - that's how uninvolved in her family she was. Kate McKinnon has a brief cameo as the brother's next door neighbor. So funny!  And, who knew what Juggalos were all about (apparently, they are the groupies for The Insane Clown Posse band and they are not all super wholesome). This just added to the humor of the film. Overall, we really had a fun time watching this movie. Get your friends and go see it!!
