Watch House Broken

House Broken is a 2010 comedy film that stars Danny DeVito, Katey Sagal, and Skyler Stone. It is directed by Sam Harper and written by Harper and Heather Juergensen. The movie centers around a dysfunctional family who hires an ex-criminal to take care of their emotionally disturbed and drug-addicted mother. The story begins with the Jacks family: Tom (Ryan Hansen), Cal (Willam H. Macy), and Cheryl (Katey Sagal), an amalgamation of odd people with unresolved issues. They all harbor a deep-seated resentment towards their mother, Catharine (Brie Larson), who was an absent drug addict who was never there for them when they needed her most.

After a string of failed attempts to get Catharine back on track, the Jacks family decides to hire a caretaker named Lou (Danny DeVito), a temperamental ex-criminal with a distinctive Boston accent to look after their mother. Lou and Catharine develop a unique bond, and he manages to bring out the best in her, which helps her turn her life around in a positive way.

As Catharine continues to make progress, the rest of the family members start to realize that they too have unresolved issues. Tom, a privileged young man, is forced to confront his inner demons when he falls for the rebellious maid Vida (Nikki Reed). Cal, on the other hand, becomes jealous of Lou's relationship with Catharine and decides to take matters into his own hands. Cheryl, the oldest sibling and the most pragmatic of the bunch, tries to be the mediator, but even she can't hold the family together.

As Catharine continues to get better, the dynamics of the family start to shift. They begin to rely on Lou more and more to hold them together. Catharine's sobriety becomes a beacon of hope for the family, but when an unexpected tragedy occurs, they find themselves falling apart even more.

The movie is a humorous yet emotional exploration of family dynamics and human relationships. Danny DeVito delivers a standout performance as Lou, the tough exterior with a heart of gold. Katey Sagal is incredible as Cheryl, the family's stoic mother figure. Skyler Stone also delivers a standout performance as Brady, Cal's uptight partner. The film creates a balance between laughs and poignant moments, offering a great viewing experience for anyone who appreciates a good family drama.

Overall, House Broken is an enjoyable and heartwarming movie about a family that is breaking apart but discovers that with the right help, they can come together again.
