Adda deadbeat son-in-law,a grandfather ontheedge, andan unlikely assassin-and you havea recipe fora hilarious hit!

Gideon Schub (Judd Hirsch), the "Office King," is a retired businessman with one joy in life: seeing his grandson. So when his underachieving, out-of-work son-in-law Jeff (Gil Bellows) threatens to end those cherished visits, it pushes Gideon over the edge. Enter Nathan "The Nat" Winkler (Danny Aiello), a Jewish loan collector for an Italian mob who knows that his only chance for a "promotion" is to pull off a hit. So when The Nat happens to meet Gideon at the neighborhood Chinese-Jewish diner, Shanghai Schwartz, he makes on offer Gideon can´t refuse: to make Jeff disappear. The only problem is, The Nat couldn´t hurt a fly -- and Gideon is no murder mastermind!

Adding to the outrageous fun of this hysterical comedy are Gideon´s effervescent, no-nonsense wife, Esther (Academy Award winner, Mercedes Ruehl), and his lovely but naïve daughter, Natalie (Reagan Pasternak), in a story packed with hilarious close calls, near misses, and surprising twists and turns that will keep you guessing... and laughing!
