Holly Hunter plays a Chicago-based single mom who--on the day before Thanksgiving--loses her job and is informed by her daughter of the latter's intention to surrender her virginity while on a weekend-long affair. If that's not enough, Hunter's character then has to fly to Baltimore to join her fractious family for another difficult Thanksgiving. Robert Downey Jr. is terrifically charming as her prankish, gay brother, and Anne Bancroft and Charles Durning show plenty of comic resilience during the predictably interesting Thanksgiving dinner scene. The script by W.D. Richter (Brubaker) avoids the usual clichés in family dramas--the deepest, darkest secret revealed here involves the painfully sweet revelation of a 40-year-old crush. Jodie Foster, directing her second feature, focuses instead on the inevitable softening of old grudges and disappointments with time. This is a wise as well as wonderfully fun movie. --Tom Keogh

Compress a season's worth of MTV's The Real World into 90 minutes, marry it to a Girls Gone Wild video, and basically you've got The Real Cancun, an ambitious if unwieldy effort to extract a feature film from bawdy footage of a spring break spent in sunny Mexico. Created by The Real World's production team, Cancun tosses 16 attractive college kids into an unrestrained, endless party in paradise, where the waves are majestic, the booze flows freely, and wanton sex--despite free-form nudity and ample opportunity--proves a surprisingly elusive dream. The trouble here is that a lot of spaghetti was thrown at the wall, but none of it sticks: There are too many people, not enough time to develop compelling individual stories or relationship cycles, and an unwillingness among most of the cast to make a leap from relaxed licentiousness to uncensored lust. In other words, there's no payoff anywhere. --Tom KeoghDescription

A little Christmas conviviality proves just the ticket for a handful of road-weary country stars in this cozy and delightful holiday special. Singers Lorrie Morgan, Doug Stone, Collin Raye, Ronna Reeves, Joe Diffie, and Holly Dunn gather at an elegant yet welcoming mansion for some Yuletide downtime, capping a busy year of recording and touring for everyone present. While the guests bask in good songs and good company, we become the proverbial fly-on-the-wall, enjoying the group's cordial conversation, corny jokes, and warm music. There's plenty of the latter to enjoy, including Reeves's show-stopping rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," Dunn's festive take on the old Jose Feliciano hit, "Feliz Navidad," and Diffie's soothing "The Christmas Song." One doesn't have to be a country aficionado to relax along with these folks, and even if their informal-looking dinner party is, in fact, entirely scripted and precisely produced for our entertainment, the air of hospitality is real enough. --Tom KeoghDescription
Join country music superstars Collin Raye, Ronna Reeves, Joe Diffie and Holly Dunn for a heartwarming buffet of music, laughs and holiday cheer.Customer Reviews:
