Leo Monroe is a young man on the verge of adulthood -- and on the verge of a meltdown -- in this charmingly dysfunctional comedy filled with wacky characters, a topical storyline, and budding romance.Forced to leave college after losing his student loan in a bad economy, Leo returns to his childhood home to find it is in the primary stages of foreclosure. To make matters worse, he also discovers his relatives and neighbors are losing their homes as well due to shady loan practices. In an effort to keep the family afloat, all of Leo's relatives (who are universally unemployed) must move into Leo's house together. "Subprime" is an off beat family minefield of a comedy dealing not only with todays housing crisis and employment downturn, but also looks at life through the eyes of a young suburban adult forced to reexamine his beliefs about everything he holds dear.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
as the economy continues in the doldrums, this movie sheds light on the current events that have caused the worst downturn in the history of the real estate market since the great depression. well written and performed by a group of dedicated actors, it sheds humor on our current state of affairs. a MUST SEE for all, especially those hit hardest by the current downturn. the movie is well written with many subplots and you will both laugh and cry at the same time! Some of the highlights of the movie include the Thanksgiving food fight, the interaction of multiple generations trying to deal with their current problems. The two little boys in the movie presented the poignant innocence of parents dealing with the problems they have been dealt! MUST SEE!
