The Oranges

Julian Farino's The Oranges is a darkly comic portrait of two suburban families who live next to each other. David Walling (Hugh Laurie) and his wife Paige (Catherine Keener) are having marriage problems, which finally blow up when he falls in love with Nina (Leighton Meester), the twentysomething daughter of his neighbors Terry (Oliver Platt) and Carol (Allison Janney). As this new relationship threatens to wreck marriages and friendships, the person who takes it the hardest is David and Paige's daughter Vanessa (Alia Shawkat), who used to be best friends with Nina before the latter dropped her prior to high school. The Oranges played at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
