 Salon | "The Daytrippers"
"Daytrippers" is a charming road movie that never leaves the dinner table.
The beauty of "Daytrippers," though, is that it shows how being a member of a family like this means that while no one outwardly gives you a lot of credit for being in pain, you still get the security of knowing the whole clan has mobilized for you.
"Daytrippers" is so well-crafted that you may make it more than halfway through before wondering whether the story will sustain any lasting emotional power.

 The Daytrippers (1996)
The Daytrippers involves a woman (Davis) whose resolve that she is happily married is tested when she finds an excerpt from a love poem that fell from her husband's (Tucci) clothes.
The Daytrippers has been an independent film darling for years now and I can see why.
It is an intelligent, emotional and well-written and acted film that will hold an appeal for most who take the time to view it.

 The Daytrippers - Trailer - Showtimes - Cast - Movies - New York Times
The impetus is a love letter discovered by suburbanite Eliza (Hope Davis) which seemingly incriminates her publisher husband Louis (Stanley Tucci) in an extramarital affair.
To solve the mystery, Eliza, her parents (Anne Meara and Pat McNamara), her oddball sister Jo (Parker Posey) and Jo's boyfriend Carl (Liev Schreiber) all pile into the family station wagon in a misbegotten attempt to track Louis down.
Beginning as a playful, satiric look at family dynamics, The Daytrippers occasionally loses its way, becoming increasingly dark and venomous as it rushes towards the revelations of its final moments.

  Review: The Daytrippers
The Daytrippers, from first time director Greg Mattola, starts out as a droll comedy about a group of oddball characters forced by circumstances to spend a day together, but finishes as a slightly overbearing drama about relationships in crisis.
The Daytrippers is at its best using parody to paint an incisively humorous picture of a modern American family.
Even though The Daytrippers is played primarily for laughs, there's a lot of truth lurking beneath the comic exterior.

 A Conversation With Greg Mottola, Director Of "The Daytrippers"
Rejected by Sundance, "The Daytrippers" had a premiere plagued with problems at Slamdance '96, and had very little luck getting distributors even to see the film until last May, when it was finally accepted into the Cannes Film Festival's Critics' Week.
At last, "The Daytrippers" is about to be released in New York and L.A., and the long wait is almost over for Mottola.
Once we began shooting "Daytrippers" that started to change, but since we shot some of it in their house, there were times they'd be mortified.

The Daytrippers is one of those movies that seems to aspire to a grandeur it can't achieve.
The Daytrippers appears in a fullscreen aspect ratio of approximately 1.33:1 on this single-sided, single-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
For a lot of 16mm movies, this wouldn't be a problem, as the DVD should depict the entire image as shot; many 16mm films expose the enter 1.33:1 frame and are then matted for theatrical showings.

 Metroactive Movies | The Daytrippers
The Daytrippers is comedy glazed with loneliness, kept poignant by the chilly weather and sparse Rio cocktail music on the soundtrack.
The comic squabbling of the Malone family yields to a long passage in which a wife (Hope Davis' Eliza) is suddenly cut adrift as she stands on a sidewalk under yellow streetlights, trying to figure out what to do next.
The Daytrippers appears at first to be a writer's movie--the kind in which the very grainy visuals, blown up from 16mm, are secondary.

 WashingtonPost.com: 'The Daytrippers': You've Got a Good Reason
But "The Daytrippers" achieves all this in an adventure of a different kind.
This low-budget film, which took the Grand Jury prize at the 1996 Slamdance International Film Festival (an increasingly important event devoted to beginning filmmakers), was shot in a whirlwind 16 days, with relatively big-name actors (Campbell Scott, Stanley Tucci, Marcia Gay Harden) performing for next to nothing.
The daytrippers’ visit to New York is a saga of amusing developments and interruptions, which brings them into contact with a flirtatious novelist (Scott), SoHo poseurs, a set of antagonistic sisters, a deadbeat dad and other strange folks (including Harden).

 DVD Review: Daytrippers
"The Daytrippers" is a moderately amusing little comedy that I found entertaining, although with a few flaws.
VIDEO: I'm not quite sure why, but "The Daytrippers" is one of the very few non-anamorphic transfers that Columbia-Tristar has ever done.
SOUND: A low-budget dialogue driven picture, "The Daytrippers" is understandably limited in terms of audio, with the score being the only other element besides the dialogue.

 Hope Davis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Davis is a graduate of Tenafly High School in Tenafly, New Jersey, and was a childhood friend of Mira Sorvino, with whom she wrote and acted in backyard plays.
Davis majored in cognitive science at Vassar College, but then became an actress in independent films such as The Daytrippers (1995) and Next Stop Wonderland (1998).
These led her to roles in Hollywood films such as the thriller Arlington Road (1999), and About Schmidt (2002), in which she played Jack Nicholson's daughter.

Our closest relatives may be weird, tacky and relentlessly annoying, but at times of crisis it's still comforting to count on their support.
"The Daytrippers" uncannily captures this sense of warmth and reassurance, while sketching the hilarious follies and foibles of each of its flawed, ultimately endearing family members.
It quotes Andrew Marvell and is signed "Love forever, Sandy." Even more surprising than where this situation leads "The Daytrippers" is the way Eliza decides to tackle it: with her whole family.

 The Thresher Online: `Daytrippers' redefines family film (April 11, 1997)
When you think of a "typical family film," I bet the first thing that pops into your head is a lighthearted Disney comedy that incorporates a cute kid, some type of animal (killer whale, chimpanzee, wildebeest, whatever) and a couple of bumbling bad guys.
The Daytrippers adds an extra twist to the definition of "family film," departing from children's entertainment for a blend of comedy and drama aimed at adult audiences.
For the first part of Daytrippers, the plot sweeps the movie along on an undercurrent of suspense while providing an excuse for us to eavesdrop on a "typical" family.

 INKPOT MOVIE REVIEWS: THE DAYTRIPPERS
THE DAYTRIPPERS could've been a conventional road movie -- its premise lies in the the name of the film, but first-time director Greg Mottola adds a low-key and poignant twist to the convention.
THE DAYTRIPPERS is not your run-of-the-mill fast-driving, wild, and consistent howling-mad-wind-in-your-face-and-hair road movie (like FANDANGO or THELMA AND LOUISE), in fact Eliza's father Jim drives so slowly he can't even beat a red light.
THE DAYTRIPP ERS is about a search for solutions to some familial problems, and the root of these being a post-modern existence and its mediocrity.

Indeed, he's scarcely in it; as Louis, a seemingly model husband suspected of errancy when wife Eliza (Hope Davis) discovers an apparent love letter in his office, he wisely disappears for most of the movie.
Mustering the support of her crass Long Island family (Anne Meara as her grotesquely domineering mother, Pat McNamara as her feckless father, Parker Posey as her hip sister, and Liev Schreiber as her sister's wanna-be novelist boyfriend), Eliza gathers everybody into the station wagon and heads into Manhattan to find out what's what.
On the way to that sour revelation they get into some scrapes meant to be quirky and poignant; in fact, The Daytrippers is a negligible detour in its distinguished cast's careers.

"The Daytrippers" wtih recognizable names (Anne Meara, Parker Posey, Campbell Scott, Stanley Tucci) was promoted as a comedy - an entire family driving from Long Island to New York City to confront the husband of the oldest daughter concerning a love not from "Sandy" found while cleaning up the bedroom.

Greg Mottola's ``The Daytrippers'' begins with a wife who is cleaning house and finds what seems to be a love note to her husband.
She nags and whines and delivers little zingers and pushes the buttons of her loved ones so effectively that ``The Daytrippers'' could have raised a cheer from the audience simply by dumping her on the roadside.
As for the film's surprise ending: I was a little offended by how pat it was, how it expected us to accept it as the wrap-up of what went before.

Just as I meet The Daytrippers' writer and director Greg Mottola at the Toronto Film Festival, we run into legendary filmmaker Arthur Penn. Mottola and I find out that we are both fans of Little Big Man, Penn's Western tragi-comedy.
The same can be said of The Daytrippers -- opening as a satire, it jolts us by shifting gears to drama.
It all begins with Eliza (Hope Davis), who believes she is happily married until she discovers a love letter written to her husband, Louis (Stanley Tucci).

There's a glorious moment in The Daytrippers, Greg Mottola's road comedy from early 1996, as the happily married Eliza D'Amico is at a rooftop party gazing at her husband (Stanley Tucci), who doesn't know she's there.
The Daytrippers is a delightful well-observed movie, but small in its scope and effects.
The film only made about $2 million upon its release, which probably explains its delay in conversion to DVD, as well as its minimal extras; yet it is a perfect kind of movie for the intimate ambiance of one's living room.
