Real Happy Family

Aspiring starlet Lorelei Branch leads a typical Hollywood life full of sex, drugs, and reality TV. But this part-time actress, full-time drug addict sparks a national media frenzy when her mom makes a racist rant on television's most popular reality show, Flo's Studio. Like many other troubled young stars, Lorelei attempts to flee the limelight and heads for Reno where she begins to self-destruct. Colleen, Lorelei's pill-popping mother who wants nothing more than to be her daughter's BFF, is desperate to make things right and hatches a plan to stage an intervention on the latest reality show, Real Happy Family. Soon the entire Branch family is embroiled in the saga to bring their prodigal daughter back into the fold.
