This is definitely one of those movies back in the day that I would've watched or I would've rented and the entire time watching, I would've been like, Do people actually talk like this? Do people actually act like this? Who talks like this? Who acts like this? Not really realizing at that time that somebody, the screenwriter, author, or filmmaker just made up this crazy stuff.
Of course, I'm older now and I get it.
I probably would've disliked this movie even more had I seen it when it was released in 1995, which is my favorite year ever of just about anything.
What a glorious time to be alive.
Yes, it was.
And the cast and crew of this film.
Wow.
Jodie Foster directs.
Charlie Chaplin's daughter.
What?
It's true. Look it up. She plays the batty aunt.
A Robert Downey Jr. Fighting addiction issues behind the scenes of this and in between his youth and Less Than Zero career, and his rebirth into superstardom and Iron Man.
Holly Hunter doing weird stuff, this between The Piano and Crash.
I don't buy Dylan McDermott being so smitten with her in this.
And Claire Danes as her daughter. A very weird relationship.
Of course the holidays make for all this cooky Baltimore family behavior.
It's supposed to be funny but it's not.
Even Steve Guttenberg never smiles.
Anne Bancroft almost thirty years after The Graduate. A solid performance but not enough to save this Turkey.
I'd rather eat the marshmallow fruit salad at Thanksgiving than visit this family for the holidays.
