| COMEDY. The Wilder kids’ home is
fairly ordinary except for one thing—they have no
parents. Their mother has abandoned them and run off
with her boyfriend to start a new life in Pakistan, and
they do not know who or where their father is. Afraid
the family will be broken up and sent to separate foster
homes, the Wilder kids ask their 24-year-old cousin,
Tristan, to come and live with them for one year to
serve as their legal guardian. Going against his
fiancée’s wishes, Tristan moves into the Wilder’s house
and all goes smoothly at first. But the household soon
erupts into mayhem when the kids bring home an
assortment of homeless animals and a busybody neighbor
suffers an “unfortunate event” with a stale sheet cake
just as a social worker arrives to check up on the kids!
