Holidays with the Family?

by   Nini23 ,  Nov 22, 2001
Pros: Funny, great acting, good cast, heartfelt, hilarious.
Cons: Slow at first but wait, it will get better. Sentimental, but good!
The Bottom Line: Holly Hunter, Dylan McDermott, Robert Downey Junior and Anne Bancroft carry this movie right till the end.
Review: Enter Claudia (Holly Hunter), a mom who just lost her job and has going back to her crazy family on the East coast to look forward to for Thanksgiving. Not to mention, her 16 year old daughter (Claire Danes) just admitted she is going to have sex,...

Preparation for the journey home: A Thanksgiving must-read

by   BrianneG ,  Nov 17, 2000
Pros: dysfunction at its best (or is that worst)
Cons: none
Review: Please, no, don't let it be that time of year already!
There are flurries in the air, the muzak in the mall has started playing Christmas carols, and my next door neighbor just finished stringing lights along his balcony. Obviously, it that...

Ma, izzat YOU?!?

by   lightnin ,  Oct 7, 2000
Pros: You'll either love it...
Cons: ...or you'll hate it.
Review: I never watched "Thirty-Something" because I was too tired to come home and watch my day all over again. This movie should make me react the same way, but it doesn't, and I'm not entirely sure why I love it so much.

First off:...

Float, Breathe and remember the Fish!

by   lisarich99 ,  Aug 28, 2003
Pros: Stellar performances by some of the most talented actors anywhere. Should have won some awards.
Cons: Brutally honest about love and life which can be frightening, especially coming from a comedy.
The Bottom Line: The perfect movie to watch and reflect on before venturing among hostile relatives (or even friendly ones).
Review: I originally watched this movie because Holly Hunter was starring and her movies tend to have depth ...

does this sound familiar?

by   jhdsn ,  Jan 17, 2000
Pros: hilarious
Cons: not rated for children/has gay character
Review: It start out with Holly Hunter losing her job in a museum and everything goes down hill from there. This also stars Robert Downey and Dylan McDermmit and it is absolutely hilarious. We all have experienced that going home for the holidays syndrome. You...

If You Dare, Go Home For The Holidays!

by   jankp , top reviewer in Movies at Epinions.com ,  Jul 9, 2005
Pros: outstanding cast; unpredictable story filled with emotion and humor
Cons: Baltimore or Boston? you may not like seeing yourself in the characters
The Bottom Line: Not a Hallmark movie.
Review: There are three kinds of people in the world: those who only enjoy journey’s end (or imagining it), those who only enjoy the journey, and those who have no preference, which could be a positive or negative thing. If you’re going to enjoy ...

Holiday Histrionics

by   skbreese , top reviewer in Movies at Epinions.com ,  Nov 18, 2001
Pros: All star cast, Exceptional character development, Uncomfortably familiar emotions
Cons: Humor is a little crass at times
The Bottom Line: Touching portrayal of the tradition of family holiday gatherings, told with humor and poignancy.
Review: Well, it's almost time for the Holidays! The one time of year that most of us look forward to, even though it painfully exposes the best and worst of all of us in the microcosm of our closest relationships.

Home For The Holidays is...

Holiday treat for all seasons

by   energy81 ,  Apr 26, 2000
Pros: acting, dialogue, realistic, felt natural to interact with
Cons: not necessarily original in idea or construction
Review: Home For the Holidays is the second directorial treat from Academy Award winner (one that I actually agree with) Jodie Foster. Like Little Man Tate, her first venture behind the lens, HFtH also focuses on a specific family centered...

Hard to Watch

by   pvreditor ,  May 27, 2008
Pros: Holly Hunter; nice Dodge Charger muscle car
Cons: Annoying characters; overlapping dialog is unintelligible; Tommy needs a haircut; no captions
The Bottom Line: This was a lousy movie filled with loud, unpleasant, uninteresting people.
Review: I have a Netflix subscription, so one day while looking at the offerings I decided that Home for the Holidays sounded like a fun comedy. Starring several people that I like to watch in movies (Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr., Anne Bancroft and ...
