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 clich茅s 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

- ANOTHER MUST-BUY
This is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE FILM, and one which has never been given the accolades it deserves. On the surface, it’s about a dysfunctional family at Thanksgiving, but upon closer examination it’s Everyman’s story. For anyone who has ever gone home for the holidays after having moved away, this film will bring back all the craziness and emotion associated with such a visit. I have given it to countless friends as a gift and watch it more than once during the year (especially at Thanksgiving). … Read More

- Charming snapshot of American family
I first saw “Home for the Holidays” when it was released on video in 1995. A small film, lovingly directed by Jodie Foster and blessed with an extraordinary cast, I was stunned by its frenetic charm. To this day I recommend it to friends, most of whom have never heard of it. Equal parts comedy and drama, “Home for the Holidays” covers the Larson family reunion on Thanksgiving day. The oldest daughter Claudia (Holly Hunter) is a single mom just fired from her job at an art gallery in Chicago. While … Read More

This is a great laugh out loud family movie for Thanksgiving. A funny disfunctional family with a HOOT of an Aunt!

- OK NOT GREAT
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.

- Its lack of effort disappoints me…
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
