Pros: outstanding cast; unpredictable story filled with emotion and humor Cons: Baltimore or Boston? you may not like seeing yourself in the characters
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 ...
Pros: Hunter, Downey, Durning, McDermott, Stevenson, Chaplin; Nat King Cole Cons: intertitles, Anne Bancroft overplaying early on
I made my "Best Christmas movies" posting into a “holidaze” one to accommodate “Home for the Holidays,” a Thanksgiving homecoming movie produced and directed by Jodie Foster in 1995. When I ...
Pros: All star cast, Exceptional character development, Uncomfortably familiar emotions Cons: Humor is a little crass at times
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.
Pros: Holly Hunter; nice Dodge Charger muscle car Cons: Annoying characters; overlapping dialog is unintelligible; Tommy needs a haircut; no captions
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 ...
Pros: Funny, great acting, good cast, heartfelt, hilarious. Cons: Slow at first but wait, it will get better. Sentimental, but good!

Pros: acting, dialogue, realistic, felt natural to interact with Cons: not necessarily original in idea or construction

Pros: You'll either love it... Cons: ...or you'll hate it.
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.
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.
I originally watched this movie because Holly Hunter was starring and her movies tend to have depth ...
Pros: hilarious Cons: not rated for children/has gay character
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...
