Subscribe FreeAfter the death of his wife, College Professor Lawrence Wetherhold (Quaid) becomes miserable, self-absorbed, and emotionally removed from his son James (Holmes), while inadvertently turning his daughter Vanessa (Page) into a friendless overachiever. When a seizure and fall land Lawrence in the emergency room, he is treated by an attractive physician named Janet Hartigan (Parker), who was once his student. Vanessa takes exception to the new lady in her dad's life when Janet and the professor begin to date. With the help of her ne'er-do-well Uncle Chuck (Church), who has moved in with her dad and her, Vanessa sets out to sabotage the relationship between the two. Will any of these supposedly Smart People be able to get a life? (Stacey Pendry)
