A priest, an actress, and a football star walk into a living room. That’s not the setup for a joke, it’s the recipe for a delightful look at family life as empty-nester parents celebrate the holidays through the decades with their grown up children.
Making God Laugh by Sean Grennan follows one typical American family over the course of thirty years, starting in 1980. The kids return home on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve and Easter and we learn about their plans and dreams.
The parents contend with their own changes, too, as old family rituals and recipes are trotted out and ancient tensions flare up. As time passes, the family discovers that, despite what we may have in mind, we often arrive at unexpected destinations.
This comedy-drama is both hilarious and heartfelt because, as Woody Allen once remarked, “If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans…”
