Retired physician Raymond (Frank Langella) has had enough. He\u2019s tired of burdening his family. He\u2019s tired of having old age chip away at his virility. And he can\u2019t stomach the idea of another heart surgery that will barely hold off encroaching death. So, at his 80th birthday celebration, Raymond makes an announcement: he\u2019s traveling to Oregon the next day to be euthanized. In the hope of buying time, Raymond\u2019s harried son-in-law (Billy Crudup) agrees to drive Raymond and his boozy wife (Mary Kay Place) the 3,000 miles to his eventual resting place. What begins as an indulgence grows increasingly serious as more family members get recruited in a cross-country salvation mission. Though the tone wobbles, Langella\u2019s sturdy, humane performance remains a balm, as does the movie\u2019s message: no matter what stage of life you\u2019re muddling through, fixing the present is necessary to embrace the future you desire. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Retired physician Raymond (Frank Langella) has had enough.
