In one of John Ashton’s last films, he was part of the cast of the indie drama-comedy film All Happy Families alongside his on-screen wife, played by Becky Ann Baker.
The ensemble cast also includes Josh Radnor, Rob Huebel, Chandra Russell, Colleen Camp, David Pasquesi, Rodney Crowell, and Ivy O’Brien. Haroula Rose directed the movie that she co-wrote with Coburn Goss.
Here is the official synopsis:
All Happy Families tells the story of the Landrys, who are not the stereotypical midwestern family. A charming dramedy that stars Hunters and Fleishman Is In Trouble’s Josh Radnor (Graham), as an actor and writer in a slump and still waiting for his big break, while his hugely successful brother Will (played by Rob Huebel) stars in his own television series. On the weekend before new tenant Dana (portrayed by Chandra Russell) is due to move into their childhood home, the siblings and their parents find themselves unexpectedly under the same roof again, where every corner reveals secrets and surprises, and the family airs out long-held resentments. All Happy Families features a terrific ensemble cast, including the pitch-perfect Becky Ann Baker (Sue) as the matriarch who’s tired of having to hold everything together, and her husband portrayed by John Ashton (Roy). All Happy Families delicately weaves a deeply relatable portrait of family dysfunction, with all the delightfully entertaining mess coming to the surface over the course of one eventful and unforgettable weekend.
