A Fish in the Bathtub is a 1999 comedy/drama directed by Joan Micklin Silver. It stars real life couple Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, who play to type as Sam and Molly, a harried husband and wife whose marriage has been stretched to the brink after 40 years of incessant bickering over the littlest of things, not the least of which is Sam's inexplicable decision to keep a fish in the bathtub. This, along with a daily harangue from the cantakerous Sam, forces Molly to finally pack a bag and go son Joel's home, which sets the stage for the family to fight through this bump in the road and get life back on track. ^[1]
