"Director Jodie Foster dishes up a ""heaping helping of holiday hilarity"" (NBC-TV) with this laugh-out-loud comedy from screenwriter W.D. Richter about family, food and finding acceptance with the people you love. Home for the Holidays is a ""wickedly funny"" film that's ""so true it hurts"" (""Entertainment Today"")! In a span of 36 hours, Claudia Larson (Holly Hunter) has managed to lose her job, make out with her boss and learn that her daughter (Claire Danes) is planning to go all the way. But Claudia's fortunes actually take a turn for the worse when she flies home to endure an even more grueling trial: the family Thanksgiving! Beset by a neurotic mother (Anne Bancroft), kooky father (Charles Durning), eccentric brother (Robert Downey, Jr.) and compulsively ""normal"" sister (Cynthia Stevenson), Claudia struggles to maintain her calm. But as sparks fly, tempers flare and turkeys go airborne, Claudia manages to recapture the zaniness of her childhood and discover that the most important things in life are the memories she shares with family and for that, she can only be thankful." - Baker & Taylor
After she loses her job and discovers her daughter will be spending Thanksgiving with her boyfriend, a single mother realizes she must face spending the holiday with her family. - Universal Studios Home Entert.
Obligation and blood ties take Claudia Larson home every Thanksgiving to visit her family in Baltimore. A dutiful daughter always goes home for the holidays, even if she can't convince her own 15-year-old offspring to follow. Giving thanks looks like a tall order this year, in light of the downward spiral Claudia's life is taking these days. In the span of 36 hours, she manages to lose her job, her head, her coat, and her cool, even her daughter's virginity appears to be on a collision course with a teenage boy. What Claudia doesn't expect to lose this Thanksgiving is the sense of dread and loathing... of wanting to be anywhere but home with the family. Home For The Holidays is a human comedy that honors the timeless holiday tradition of family gatherings and reminds you why you left home.
