Cast and Crew

My Too Cents:

Synopsis:
___As usual, it's a lousy Thanksgiving. Claudia Larson (Holly Hunter) has just lost her job; her teenage daughter (Claire Danes) is determined to lose her virginity; her intrusive parents (Anne Bancroft and Charles Durning) seem to have lost their minds. From a sharp, jaundiced script by W.D. Richter (BUCKAROO BANZAI), Jodie Foster has directed a poisoned paean to the great American tradition of torturous family gatherings. Granted, the Lawson family verges on caricature, from the acerbic gay son (Robert Downey Jr.) to dotty Aunt Gladys (Geraldine Chaplin). But whose family doesn't, when the holiday chips are down?
