With no job and no relationship -- and no prospects for either -- twentysomething Webster (Maclain Nelson) opts to start over. He heads to his childhood home and climbs up a tree, where he plans to stay the entire summer in a house of his own creation. Not surprisingly, Webster captures the attention of his neighbors, who soon find that they have a stake in his mission as well.
Practical Effects
They actually built that ridiculous treehouse. Respect.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Hamblin brothers shot this in their actual hometown of Mapleton, Utah, using local friends and family—Bus Riley (Mr. Clark) is a real neighbor, not an actor.
This barely-released 2008 indie arrived right when the 'man-child comedy' peaked (Knocked Up, Failure to Launch), but its gentler, less misogynistic spin got completely buried—probably because it had zero marketing budget and a 3.0 TMDB rating from one lonely voter.
