Claire moves in with her crazy family after her home is condemned.

Claire's (Alicia Witt) life goes on a downward spiral right after graduation. Her boyfriend breaks up with her, her piano teacher (Harvey Fierstein) is fed up with her lack of concentration and her apartment is condemned after an earthquake. With no place to go, she must move back in with her dysfunctional family, an eclectic group of relatives. A story telling matriarch (Marlo Thomas), spirit-seeing patriarch (Elliot Gould), picture-perfect sister (Molly Hagan) and a meddling aunt (Estelle Harris). After several weeks of moping at home, Claire's best friends, Sabrina (Brooke Langton) and Arthur (Johnny Galecki), convince her that partying is the best solution for a broken heart. And in spite of trying to play it cool like "Mona Lisa", Claire meets Eddie (Ivan Sergei), a self-proclaimed heir to a fish market, who sweeps her off her feet. Life, however, takes an unusual twist when a few uncanny family and friends secrets are revealed.

It's a chase, a hunt, a party and a riot in Miami s colorful South Beach as John Leguizamo stars as Pestario "Pest" Vargas, a chameleon-like con artist who can go from being a fast-talking Chinese delivery boy to an unorthodox Orthodox Rabbi in the blink of an eye. It's an ability that usually gets him out of any jam, but Pest will need every face he's got once he attracts the attention of Gustav Shank (Jeffrey Jones), the crazy German who is hunting him (for his head), and the mob (the Scottish mob, that is), who want the $50,000 he owes them. It's an all-out, knock-down, drag-out to the finish, but Pest will do whatever it takes to outrun the psycho hunters and Scottish mobsters and make it to his African American girlfriend's house in time for dinner with her parents-no matter who's offended in the process.

Comedian John Leguizamo is THE PEST, a manic Miami con man who's about to become a hunter's human prey. And if you're going to be a target, it's best to be a moving target, as THE PEST proves in this hilarious high-speed hunt that careens from a neo-Nazi's private island to the party-all-the-time streets of Miami's South Beach. Crass, crude and endlessly inventive, THE PEST assumes a wild variety of ethic identities as he evades his predator with attitude intact. A totally one-of-a-kind movie.
