When
79-year-old curmudgeon Raymond (Frank Langella) makes arrangements to
be euthanized in Oregon, his family refuses to accept his decision. But
when another family emergency arises, Raymond’s daughter Kate (Christina
Applegate) turns to her husband Brian (Billy Crudup) for a little help.
So Brian reluctantly volunteers to drive the cantankerous Raymond and
his wine-loving wife Estelle (Mary Kay Place) three-thousand miles to
Oregon.
Determined to change the old man’s mind before they reach the Beaver
State, it becomes quickly apparent to Brian that convincing your
father-in-law to keep living when he’s ready to check out is no simple
task.

“YOUTH IN OREGON delivers a heart-wrenching look at euthanasia
without being preachy. It talks about dying with dignity and dying amid a
sea of love.” – Maria Vultaggio, International Business Times
