(DVD, Anchor Bay)
School teacher and single mom Marsha Mason struggles to make ends meet while raising her teenage son Matthew Broderick. Enter Jason Robards, her elderly father who disappeared decades ago. He is dying of cancer and loaded with cash he embezzled from a Las Vegas casino he felt ripped him off. At first she resists his offerings of cash and gifts, but eventually comes to accept both him and the ever more luxurious handouts. Meanwhile, her new potential boyfriend and police detective Donald Sutherland becomes increasingly suspicious of her new situation. Light-as-air comedy from Neil Simon, but Robards and Jason are up to their usual standards, Broderick not so much.
