Plot summary
Jon Aldrich is a successful stockbroker. He and his wife Audrey have two children, Kevin and Maggie. His elderly father, Harry, has dementia and accidentally burns down his own house. Jon asks his sister Arlene, who has two sons of her own, Jerry and Steve, to take in Harry and their mother, Mildred, but Arlene will not open the door for them. Harry and Mildred move into Jon's home instead, and Harry's confusion makes trouble for everyone under that roof. The strain of the new arrangement spreads beyond the apartment, and Jon's personal and professional life begins to come apart soon after.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Before Tom Selleck was cast as the selfish yuppie Jon Aldrich, Tim Robbins was offered one million dollars to star in Folks! but turned it down to play the lead in Robert Altman's The Player instead.
- Folks! was released a month after the Washington Square Park Massacre, in which an elderly woman lost control of her vehicle and killed four pedestrians; Gene Siskel called the timing "bad taste" on the At the Movies "Worst Movies of 1992" special.
