Personal Exemptions

About This Movie

So, 'Personal Exemptions' is this quirky little comedy from '89 that dives into the chaotic life of an IRS investigator played by Nanette Fabray. The humor is pretty dry with a satirical edge, poking fun at bureaucracy and family dysfunction. The pacing kind of meanders, reflecting the protagonist's faltering grip on both her job and home life. You’ve got the typical 'family is falling apart while the parent is too busy at work' vibe, but it’s interesting how it intertwines the absurdity of tax codes with personal crises. Fabray delivers a solid performance, and the supporting cast adds to the overall disarray of the family dynamics. Not a lot of fanfare for it, but it’s got a certain charm that's hard to overlook.
