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.
