In the bitingly sharp comedy-drama "Legacy," the sudden death of a wealthy patriarch sends shockwaves through his dysfunctional family, forcing his estranged daughters to confront their messy pasts and uncertain futures. Haylie Duff and Madeline Zima star as the sisters, whose wildly different lives are upended when they must return to their childhood home and abide by the bizarre, often hilarious stipulations of their father's will. They are joined by a colorful ensemble including their skeptical mother, played by Jane Sibbett, and a host of eccentric friends and associates, including a scene-stealing Tom Green. As the sisters navigate a minefield of old resentments, unexpected revelations, and the chaotic influence of characters portrayed by Margo Harshman and Donnell Rawlings, they are pushed to examine what family and inheritance truly mean. Directed by Irving Rothberg, this R-rated film blends heartfelt drama with irreverent humor, crafting a story about the legacies we are given and the ones we choose to build for ourselves.
