Are You Here

Steve Dallas is a breezy local weatherman who treats romance like a sport. When his longtime friend Ben Baker learns that his father has died, they return to Ben's hometown to catch up and reset their lives. The trip reveals an unexpected twist: Ben has inherited the family fortune, turning their reunion into a chaotic scheme to cash in. They must contend with Ben's formidable sister and the widow of their father, a striking younger woman who complicates a tangled plan. The humor comes from the clash between two different ways of living and the risk taking they rally around. It's a comedy about friendship under pressure, vanity, and the lure of easy money in places that never stay the same.

Are You Here was directed by Matthew Weiner, known for Mad Men, from an original screenplay. The 2013 comedy teams Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis and Amy Poehler in a character driven farce that leans on banter and awkward misfires.
