The film "The Hollars" is Nothing to Shout About-Dir/Starring John Krasinski

The comedy/family drama surrounding an implacable matriarch (the always astounding Margo Martindale) whose brain tumor diagnosis brings her younger son John (John Krasinski) back from NYC to his small hometown & family.  The family consists of an inept older brother & fumbling father.  Kraskinski both stars & directs this movie meant to rent but he manages to lasso a motley A list cast that elevates the film to a guilty pleasure despite its plethora of platitudes.  Richard Jenkins, an Acad Award wining actor plays the dad with over the top bumbling & still manages to pull it off with warmth & charm.  John's older brother is played by S African actor Sharlto Copley whose crazy antics are somehow ingratiating.  Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect) is the sensible baby momma to John's soon to be born twins & serves as the pillar of pragmatism and generosity.  Most of the humor comes from Charlie Day ("Always Sunny in Philadelphia) who plays the nurse to John's mother and antogonist to him out of jealousy because his wife still pines for John.  Wait, Josh Groban whose singing I hate may have a career in acting.  He plays a clergyman who is the love interest to Ron's ex-wife.  I call out the cast because it's their winning combination that makes a fluffy film of family love & dysfunction function on the front burner.
