Folks! is a 1992 dark comedy film, directed by Ted Kotcheff and starring Tom Selleck. The movie's tagline is: "Jon Aldrich is about to come face to face with the most terrifying force known to man... his parents." The film earned a Razzie Award nomination for Selleck as Worst Actor.
Folks! tells the story of Jon Aldrich (Tom Selleck), a successful stockbroker who is living the good life with a wife and kids until his aging father with dementia accidentally burns down his own house. Jon tries to get his sister, Arlene Aldrich (Christine Ebersole) who has two sons of her own but is an irresponsible gold digger, but she won't even open the door. As a result his father Harry Aldrich/Pop (Don Ameche) and his mother Mildred Alrdich (Anne Jackson) have to move in with him and his family. That is the moment that his good life starts going down hill.
The company he works for was apparently doing illegal things which Jon knew nothing of, but no one believes him therefore he loses his job. The problems for Jon continue to mount up as the family becomes broke, his wife Audrey (Wendy Crewson) thinks moves out with the kids, and they lose all their furniture and belongs except their apartment. Harry continues to unintentionally injure Jon, causing him hearing lost, a broken hand, a car runs over his foot, and he manages to lose a testicle.
