About You Can Thank Me Later
Shirley Cooperberg heads a Montreal Jewish family. During her husband's operation, her brood arrives at the hospital — failed writer Eli, neurotic Susan, and successful theatrical producer Edward. An onslaught of one-liners find targets amid sibling rivalries and angst-ridden animosities.
Directed by Shimon Dotan, You Can Thank Me Later leans on a strong ensemble — Ellen Burstyn, Amanda Plummer, Mary McDonnell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1998.
