Kieran Culkin stars as Igby Slocumb, an irreverent 17-year-old, who's at war with the world of money and privilege he was born into: His father (Bill Pullman) is schizophrenic, his mother (Susan Sarandon) totally egocentric, and his big brother (Ryan Phillippe) dedicated to the ideas and practices of predatory capitalism. After flunking prep school and escaping military academy, he runs away to NY where he figures he can find a better life. Also with Claire Danes, Jeff Goldblum and Amanda Peet. [1:38]
