I am not sure how closely the movie will follow the book,
but here is a synopsis of the book:
Eve Mozell, 44, is the middle sister who winds up her
father's caregiver; her older sister Georgia edits a
women's magazine that bears her name in New York; and
younger sister Maddy is a semisuccessful actress on
Hollywood soaps.
Mom walked out when Eve was in college; Dad, whose career
writing sitcoms was dying even then, is an alcoholic manic
depressive who, by the 1990s, suffers from what his doctor
calls "the dwindles."
Telephone lines bind this family and deliver its joys and
woes; each ring produces mixed emotions--and antic plot
elements, including the party Eve's "event planning firm,
No Surprises," arranges for several hundred otolaryngologists
at the Nixon Library, and the unexpected wisdom and support
from the Iranian doctor whose car Eve's son damages
(and from the doctor's quite remarkable mother). A funny,
touching, often penetrating exploration of individual and
family strengths and vulnerabilities.
