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."
