Home for the Holidays

Jodie Foster offers up some good old-fashioned family drama (trauma?) in her 90s Thanksgiving masterpiece Home for the Holidays, starring Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr., and Anne Bancroft. Oh, and there's a little Dylan McDermott romance shoved in there for funzies. Tangents include nostalgia for pre-9/11 airports, RDJ's drug problem, the believability of Tom Cruise in any role, and a few deep dark family secrets of our own.
