Robert Downey Jr. taps his trademark manic impishness as Hunter's gay brother, a blunt-speaking Madhatter. You have bad hair. But I like you a lot.

Hunter conveniently finds romance in the chaos, but at least she has earned it.
Home has the usual hellish ritual.
They come, they eat, they argue, they leave. It's the stuffing in-between that makes it special.
