...Cera is Nick Twisp, the hyper-intelligent son of a divorced Oakland, Calif., couple, foolish Estelle (Jean Smart) and aggrieved George (Steve Buscemi), who would rather not pay child support. Nick, a self-proclaimed voracious reader of "classic prose," watches in disgust as his mother makes out with her scam-artist boyfriend Jerry (Zach Galifianakis, cinematic slob du jour).
