Four generations of an American family are brought together by difficult circumstances while facing some unpleasant truths in this drama. Henry (
Michael Caine) is an elderly man in failing health living in a small town in the Southwest, where he's cared for by his live-in nurse (
Glenne Headly). As Henry's condition grows worse, he's joined by his son Turner (
Christopher Walken), his grandson Jason (
Josh Lucas), and his great-grandson Zach (Jonah Bobo). As the four men deal with Henry's illness, they also try to come to terms with a lifetime's worth of differences between them. Around the Bend is the first feature film from writer and director Jordan Roberts. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
