The Wallings (Hugh Laurie and Catherine Keener) and Ostroffs (Oliver Platt and Allison Janney) have been friends for years. They share dinners, holidays, and traditions. The only problem for these two benevolent clans is that they're about to share something else: infidelity.

Christmas, never the time of festiveness that it promises, is now a battleground between good pals David and Terry (Oliver Platt).

House star Hugh Laurie has signed on to star in the indie comedy The Oranges, according to The Playlist. The story follows the Schiff family, who live on Orange Drive, a New Jersey suburb, with their neighbors, the Bass family, who are torn apart when David Schiff (Laurie's character), embarks on an affair with the Bass's daughter Nina (Leighton Meester). Catherine Keener, Allison Janney, and Adam Brody also star.

Hugh Laurie's film career hasn't quite parlayed to success after the resurgence of his career following House: Monsters vs. Aliens, Flight of the Phoenix, and the Stuart Little films. Hopefully The Oranges will change that.
