When five kids growing up in an orphanage refuse to be separated by adoption, the only way to stay together is to go on the lam across the country as The Beniker Gang. Arthur Beniker (Andrew McCarthy) is old enough to move out of the orphanage, but he refuses to leave four mischievous kids--Edmund (Charles Fields), Cassie (Jennie Dundas), James (Jeff Alan-Lee) and Ben (Danny Pintauro-"Who's The Boss?")--behind. Financing their escape by writing the nationally syndicated column "Dear Lola", Arthur and the kids create a family from love and an uncanny ability to evade the authorities in this delightful family comedy.

Peter Soffel is the stuffy warden of a remote American prison around the turn of the century. His wife, Kate, finds herself attracted to prisoner Ed Biddle. She abandons her husband and children to help Ed and his brother Jack escape and accompanies them into the wintry wasteland.

John Irving’s bestseller comes alive in this dark comedy about an eccentric family who run a hotel with a guest clientele both shady and bizarre.
