With Elizabeth Olsen • Jeffrey Dean Morgan • Catherine Keener • Jonathan Burkhart • Chace Crawford • Christina Mengert • Jane Fonda • Bruce Beresford • Joseph Muszynski • Brice Dal Farra • Claude Dal Farra • Lauren Munsch

For uptight Manhattan lawyer Diane (Catherine Keener), crazy means driving her teenage son Jake (Nat Wolff) and daughter Zoe (Elizabeth Olsen) to Woodstock to visit their grandmother Grace (Jane Fonda). The crazy part is that the kids have never met Grace. In fact, Diane hasn't spoken to her mother in twenty years. Grace is the epitome of the term "hippie": she stages protests and hootenannies in the town square, smokes (and sells) a lot of dope, and howls at the moon once a month with her goddess-worshipping girlfriends. But what's meant to be a weekend getaway turns into a summer adventure of romance, music, family secrets, and self-discovery.
