New York adman Jim Blandings is ready to say goodbye to his cramped city apartment and build from the ground up a Connecticut home with room enough for his growing family and dreams. All it will cost him is his time and money … and perhaps his job, marriage, happiness and what’s left of his sanity. Goodbye, Manhattan. Hello, comedy. Following the film, renowned actress and author Illeana Douglas will discuss her book “Connecticut in the Movies: From Dream Houses to Dark Suburbia” and take questions from the audience.
