Never has a couple in these parts been as madly in... Welcome to America’s Heartland, home of hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves...and Claude (BILLY BOB THORNTON) and Ruby (LAURA DERN) Montgomery. Never has a couple in these parts been as madly in love, or as often at odds. When news reaches them that Claude’s Uncle Hazel (JIM VARNEY) has been arrested, they head to the family homestead in Little Rock to lend their support. As the extended family reunites, it quickly becomes clear that, with this bunch, anything goes and everyone speaks their mind. It’s a tasty mix of ambrosia salad, armed robbery, sex talk, head-on collisions, and a Macarena monkey -- all the fixin’s for a love story only Billy Bob Thornton could serve up. The cast of characters includes KELLY PRESTON as Ruby’s sultry sister Rose, DIANE LADD as Ruby’s eccentric mother Jewel, BEN AFFLECK and JAMIE LEE CURTIS as the husband and wife attorneys assigned to the case, BRENDA BLETHYN as Hazel’s worried wife Julia, and ANDY GRIFFITH as the lovable, but slightly senile family patriarch "O.T." -- © 2001 Miramax [More]
