See the most agreed on films →Two sets of parents meet cordially to discuss a fight between their young sons. What begins as a civilized conversation slowly unravels into a chaotic afternoon of arguing, blame, and hypocrisy. As the polite facade crumbles, their deep-seated prejudices and marital tensions are exposed. The adults soon behave far worse than the children they are attempting to defend, turning a Brooklyn apartment into a battlefield of verbal carnage.
