Holly Hunter plays a Chicago-based single mom who--on the day before Thanksgiving--loses her job and is informed by her daughter of the latter's intention to surrender her virginity while on a weekend-long affair. If that's not enough, Hunter's character then has to fly to Baltimore to join her fractious family for another difficult Thanksgiving. Robert Downey Jr. is terrifically charming as her prankish, gay brother, and Anne Bancroft and Charles Durning show plenty of comic resilience during the predictably interesting Thanksgiving dinner scene. The script by W.D. Richter (Brubaker) avoids the usual clichés in family dramas--the deepest, darkest secret revealed here involves the painfully sweet revelation of a 40-year-old crush. Jodie Foster, directing her second feature, focuses instead on the inevitable softening of old grudges and disappointments with time. This is a wise as well as wonderfully fun movie. --Tom Keogh

 Hilarious Movie January 24, 2010
S. A. Braun (FL)
I love watching this movie during the holidays. Family time is sometimes very tense and this makes my family seem more normal. Robert Downey Jr. is great in this!
Great Movie! December 24, 2009
Jessica Barczewski (Colorado)
This is a great movie that highlights why getting older is no fun. The family reminds me of my own, how we have drifted apart and one day we just look around the Thanksgiving table and say "who are these people?". Suddenly, we are strangers in our family. This movie has a bittersweet love story underlining the main theme of growing up and creating your own life seperate from your family. A great Thanksgiving movie that you will want to watch again and again.
