Boundaries (2018)

After a bit of a hiatus in watching movies at home, we are back to having our youngest son pick out the movies the three of us watch, and this is a recent one.  I wouldn't have gotten it out myself, based on poor IMDB reviews and not watching enough trailers to be encouraged to get movies that I would otherwise not have heard of.
This is kind of wacky, unless you put it in the road trip movie category alongside such gems as Nebraska and Little Miss Sunshine, and then it has a home.  If you like either of those, you will be glad you watched this.  The characters are few but they are well fleshed out in a movie that is well under two hours.  They include Christopher Plummer, who is well over 80 years old,  as Jack, a ne’er-do-well barb-tongued weed dealer who reaches out to his estranged Seattle-based adult daughter, Laura (Vera Farmiga), fabulously flustered in pique angst-ridden mode after his outlaw ways get him kicked out of his senior living accommodations. Laura's son, who definitely did not fall far from the tree joins them as they wend their way to a better relationship all around.
