CGiii Comment
Another Thanksgiving ensemble piece - from the maker of the charming Big Eden.
Unfortunately, that charm does not travel.
It's more infuriating than anything else - the gay characters are just thrown in to make the situation even more awkward.
The production values are fine - as is the acting.
But, it really is an irritating little movie.
