Product Description:
On the fourth thursday in november 84 million american families will gather together.. And wonder why. Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 10/17/2006 Starring: Holly Hunter Steve Guttenberg Run time: 103 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Jodie Foster

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

TYPICALLY I LOVE HOLLY HUNTER, BUT EVEN HER TALENT DID NOT CREATE ANY INTEREST FOR ME. THIS IS MOST LIKELY TOO TRUE TO REALLY ENJOY, A LARGELY DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY--- NOT WORTH PAYING MONEY FOR. JUST STEP NEXT DOOR AND GET THIS FOR FREE.

There are plenty of holiday family films that get it right. In recent years I've enjoyed `The Family Stone' and `Pieces of April'. `Home for the Holidays' just doesn't do it for me the way that these other films have. I searched this film out mainly because I adore Robert Downey Jr. (such a major comeback) and I heard great things about his performance here. That and the fact that Holly Hunter is always a delight (as are Anne Bancroft and Charles Durning) and I was seeking this film like a missile. ... Read More

This film embodies the abject misery a lot of people experience when forced to go home to The Family for the holidays. You have to confront aging parents, aging siblings and old school friends/rivals. Nothing is the same anymore; yet you are bombarded with bittersweet memories. This film delivers in all those areas. You identify with the characters because you either know people like this or are related to them!
Robert Downey Jr really shines in this - which is amazing since the cast was brilliant. ... Read More

This is such a great movie, saw it years ago and always wanted it. So I added it to my movie library, and love it. Great holiday movie.
