The Daytrippers | Year: 1997 Classification: Comedy Directed: - Greg Mottola Actors/Actresses: - Stanley Tucci - Hope Davis - Parker Posey - Liev Schreiber - Campbell Scott Daytrippers. . . One of my favorite films from 1996 Poor Eliza, played Hope Davis, finds a supposed love letter addressed to her husband Louis, played by Stanley Tucci. Frantic, she runs to her family for help on how to handle the situation. Her mother, played by Ann Meara decides that she should confront her husband face to face. Eliza, with her parents, sister(Parker Posey) and sister's boyfriend(Liev Schrieber)in tow, decide to go into New York to confront her husband about the letter. Unfortunately, he's not at work and the family spends the rest of the day tracking him down. This is a great film that examines the relationships between husband and wife, child and parent and boyfriend and girlfriend. Ann Meara does a wonderful job as the controlling and nagging mother. Parker Posey is fun, as always and Hope Davis gives a terrific, yet sad portrayal of Eliza. <BR>The best part of the movie is it's realistic dialogue, it doesn't feel scripted at all. This is one of my favorite films and would highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of Parker Posey and Hope Davis. A Collection Classic Viewers expecting raucous laughs, and slapstick humor will be terribly disappointed with this film. The Daytrippers' humor lies in the nuances of the realistic characters, the subtly sarcastic dialogue, and the film's overall quiet resolve despite the ridiculous situation presented. Lovers of "Seinfeld" (like myself) will watch this movie again and again... This is one not to miss... I stumbled on this film because of my fascination (ok crush)with Liev Schreiber. What a great movie. Who would have thought that a movie about chasing after a "might be cheating" husband would be so entertaining. I love the continuing story of the novel about the Dog Head Man that Schreiber's character is telling. This is a fun and sometime sad movie. Try it out one Saturday night.
