Overview
Quirky and rebellious April Burns lives with her boyfriend in a low-rent New York City apartment miles away from her emotionally distant family. But when she discovers that her mother has a fatal form of breast cancer, she invites the clan to her place for Thanksgiving. While her father struggles to drive her family into the city, April -- an inexperienced cook -- runs into kitchen trouble and must ask a neighbor for help.
A quirky and rather endearing indie comedy. While Katie Holmes is very good in this film lets be clear about one thing – the best scenes are in the second half of the film with the always-amazing Patricia Clarkson.
