A lesser known Thanksgiving movie that looks at the holiday celebrations of four ethnically diverse families living in Los Angeles.. This comedy from 2000 boasts a huge ensemble cast as it veers back and forth between the different families as their problems and conflicts begin to escalate and eventually intersect in surprising ways. Whenever there's a movie like this you'll ultimately prefer one family's story to another- my personal favorite is Alfre Woodard and Dennis Haysbert's Thanksgiving that goes awry, but Mercedes Ruehl is really good too as the divorced matriarch of a Hispanic family whose ex-husband crashes the dinner. Check this movie out if you can- another plus is how incredibly good all the food looks.
