With its droII humor and bittersweet emotional heft, the feature debut of writer-director Greg MottoIa announced the arrivaI of an unassumingly sharp-witted new taIent on the 1990s indie scene. When she discovers a Iove letter written to her husband (Stanley Tucci) by an unknown paramour, the distraught Eliza (Hope Davis) turns to her tight-knit Long lsland famiIy for advice. Soon the entire clan—strong-willed mom (Anne Meara), taciturn dad (Pat McNamara), and jaded sister (Parker Posey) with pretentious boyfriend (Liev Schreiber) in tow—has squeezed into a station wagon and headed into Manhattan to find out the truth, kicking off a one-crazy-day odyssey full of unexpected detours and life-changing reveIations. Performed with deadpan virtuosity by a top-flight ensemble cast, The Daytrippers is a wry and piercing look at famiIy bonds stretched to the breaking point.
