The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

It’s never a good thing to try and fool your family with a scheme to return to their good graces. The repercussions can be savage and brutal. Any hope for forgiveness is unlikely. Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) has been kicked out onto the street, he is broke and now homeless. He finds out that his wife, Etheline (Anjelica Huston) is considering marrying her accountant, Henry Sherman (Danny Glover). So Royal devises a plot to convince Etheline that he has stomach cancer in order to win her back as well as the affections of his estranged children. But his symptoms are unlike any other case of stomach cancer.
