Rating:  - THE CULT FILM THAT NEVER WAS
A zany black comedy about a typical family consisting of a domineering mother (Rosalind Russell), two man-eating piranhas, several Venus flytraps, a baby son - aged twenty-five! (Robert Morse), a lecherous babysitter (Barbara Harris), and a father (Jonathan Winters) who just happens to be a stuffed corpse hanging in the closet!

Well, this gal has never been better as the acid tongued mother [mild acid, you know], together with her disfunctional family [includes Robert Morse, the brilliant Jonathan Winters, Barbara Harris - another "treasure"], on vacation somewhere in the Caribbean - just watch out for the 25 year old baby!
