A young American woman arrives in France to visit her married and pregnant sister. Instead of a happy visit she stumbles into a trauma-stricken scene as the sister learns that her husband is leaving her for her another. Is the man's family sympathetic and supportive of the betrayed wife? Of course not, they're only disturbed by the timing of the departure
it looks in bad form to leave a pregnant wife. The American Mom, Dad, and Brother show up to help, especially to retrieve a valuable family painting that is in France with Sis, but a piece of property that the French family also covets. Complicating matters, the visiting sister begins an affair with the husband's married uncle, as a multitude of other characters begin to pop up.
The acting is mostly journeyman (although there are a few standouts like Stockard Channing as the American Mom), but is adequate for the material. Okay so it's also over plotted, overpopulated, and over done. I still enjoyed it, and would recommend it, although not heartily.
