Wendy Savage, a struggling playwright, has never really had anything to do with her brother Jon, a college professor and writer. However, they are forced to work together as their aging father becomes senile and must be cared for. Placing their father in a nursing home seems to be the only option they have, and through the process both are forced to face life head on and finally grow up.

Though the story does at times drag, The Savages finishes strong, striking a chord with its core audience.

Imagine yourself shortly after graduation. You are sitting in your dream interview at your dream job. Everything is going just as planned. Then in the time that it took you to blink, you blow it. What do you do next? Where do you turn? And what do you tell your mom, your number one supporter? For Annie Braddock (played by Scarlett Johansson), the solution was easy ... go for a walk. And it was on this afternoon walk that Annie was discovered by Mrs. X (Laura Linney) and thrust into the world of Nannyhood.
