A Sundance Festival special, this indie family comedy-drama was given unduly harsh treatment by critics when it was released. Starring as the long-estranged son of an emotionally distant father, Noah Wyle comes home to his family for Thanksgiving in hopes of reconnecting with his old girlfriend, and receives unexpected results. But he's not the only one coming back. There's the brother with a cute fiancée (Hope Davis), who doesn't quite understand what all the tension is about. There's the glum sister (a hilarious Julianne Moore) who is down on love and everything else until she connects with a childhood acquaintance. And Mom (Blythe Danner) is there to referee it all. But the central conflict involves Wyle and his father (Roy Scheider in a wonderfully eccentric performance). <I>--Marshall Fine</I>
Viewer Reviews I watched this movie a couple of years ago, because of the cast mainly. I don't remember if I liked it or not, must have not hated it or loved it because I would have remembered. The only thing I remembered was the bitchy funny scene in the bookshop with Julianne Moore. I watched the movie again today and I was utterly bored to death by it. I am used to movies leaving matters unanswered and having to figure out stuff, some mysteries left unsolved, like most non-hollywood movies. But to defend the movie by using just THAT excuse is not enough. There is not enough dysfuncionality, quirkyness, funny stuff, acting-outs or fights or great acting jobs to keep one's interest in the movie for more than one viewing, just because you want to know how the heck this movie is going to end. If you want a home for the winter holidays movie get "Home for the Holidays" or "The Family Stone" (the latter is weird and sometimes boring, but not as much as this one). One thing is for sure, I will probably never watch it again.
