Yet another road movie about male bonding, COUPE DE VILLE follows three brothers as they deliver the classic car of the title to Florida for their mother's birthday in 1963. The boys' father, Fred (Alan Arkin), an inventor of special fishing poles and indestructible stop signs, has
instructed oldest son Marvin (Daniel Stern) to pick up the car in Detroit. There, Marvin learns that his brothers, Buddy (Arye Gross) and Bobby (Patrick Dempsey), will be making the journey south with him. It's immediately apparent that the Libner boys have little rapport. What's more, Bobby is
picked up from a reform school, which has obviously made little dent in his rebellious nature....
