If you loved My Brother Chases Dinosaurs, try When Mom Is Away

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Comedy / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to My Brother Chases Dinosaurs, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What When Mom Is Away is

A mother’s vacation turns her family into a sitcom without a laugh track. The dad inherits the house, the kids, and a crash course in domestic incompetence. The film is as chaotic as the kitchen it leaves behind.
