I only watched this because it has Will & Julia in it. Was written by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, who seem to specialize in “Human stories”. The basic story is that Will Ferrells character seem blase (in different) when the family get hit with a snow storm. The rest of the movie shows his character and his wife (played by the talented (although talent wasted on this one) Julia Louis Dreyfuss, Yes THAT Julia-Elaine from Seinfeld!-The skinny of it, is Julias character has an affair with another man because she feels Wills character is neglecting her, In typical Will Ferrell fashion (again, normally a fan, but both actors fell flat on this one), he jokes about things, and she never confesses. They stay together, but after a LONG 84 minutes, only toward the end of the movie, does he start to show any emotion towards his wife and 2 sons
