The Man Who Came to Dinner

A sharp-tongued film critic's life is turned upside down when a hip injury requires him to relocate with a down-to-earth Midwestern family, leading to chaos and culture clashes.

Sheridan Whiteside, a charismatic lecturer, is forced to take refuge in an Ohio family's home after breaking his leg on their icy driveway. As he recuperates, he manipulates the household dynamics, playing matchmaker, stirring up drama, and exerting his influence over the family. However, just as his schemes are unfolding, Whiteside discovers his leg is actually fine and he's been using his confinement as an excuse to exert control over the family.
