    The premise

    A young big-city lawyer (Jason London) is sent by his mother into the deep forest to stop his crazy grandfather (Ed Asner) from signing over his fortune to an Indian tribe. Grandpa, who tells his grandson that he wants to be called Jack, has other plans in mind, including a sweat lodge and a lot of walking in the woods.

    How unusual is it?

    Honestly? Not very — and that's the charm. It plays the hits, which is exactly the point for a cozy night in.
