missed the beginning


Didn't see the beginning of the movie. Why is the father character in such a foul mood so much of the time? Is it all over his daughter's marriage? Or just feeling useless as a retired man?

The father just doesn't relate to Sam. Part of it is he is going through adjusting to retirement but mostly he is a down to earth, traditional kind of guy who doesn't get Sam's boisterousness. The family also kind of sees Sam as "putting on airs"--at least at first.
