Home For The Holidays

Director Jodie Foster dishes up a "heaping helping of holiday hilarity" (´NBC-TV´) with this laugh-out-loud comedy from screenwriter W.D. Richter about family food and finding acceptance with the people you love. ´Home For the Holidays´ is a "wickedly funny" film that´s "so true it hurts" (´Entertainment Today´)!

In a span of 36 hours, Claudia Larson (Hunter) has managed to lose her job, make out with her boss and learn that her daughter (Danes) is planning to go all the way. But Claudia´s fortunes actually take a turn for the worse when she flies home to endure an even more grueling trial: The family Thanksgiving! Beset by a neurotic mother (Bancroft), kooky father (Durning), eccentric brother (Downey, Jr.) and compulsively "normal" sister (Stevenson), Claudia struggles to maintain her calm. But as sparks fly, tempers flare and turkeys go airborne, Claudia manages to recapture the zaniness of her childhood and discover them most important things in life are the memories she shares with family and for that, she can only be thankful!
