What happens?

From the producer of SIDEWAYS -- get to know a lovable yet dysfunctional family everyone can relate to in this lighthearted comedy "People"* calls "smart and enjoyable." When Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid) -- a widowed and self-absorbed professor -- falls for his attractive former student (SEX AND THE CITY's Sarah Jessica Parker), his all-too-predictable life suddenly turns sunny side up. That is, until his freeloading brother (Thomas Haden Church) and his sharp-tongued overachieving daughter (JUNO's Ellen Page)speak up, making "chaos" the word of the day. Now on DVD, SMART PEOPLE is even funnier with never-before-seen interviews, deleted scenes and hilarious outtakes.~~*Leah Rozen
