Synopsis
A family is torn between their need to air out their dirty laundry and their habit of sweeping things under the rug in this emotional drama. Hal (
Roy Scheider
) and Lena (
Blythe Danner
) are a successful but emotionally frosty New England couple whose four adult children are coming home for Thanksgiving. Strapping Jake (
Michael Vartan
) brings along his new girlfriend Margaret (
Hope Davis
), but while her affection for him is obvious, he's not sure how he feels about her. Mia (
Julianne Moore
), an alternately reserved and sexually ravenous art gallery worker, also brings her current lover, the nervous and unstable Elliot (
Brian Kerwin
). Leigh (
Laurel Holloman
) seems happier and better adjusted than her siblings, but she still hasn't resolved her long-standing rivalry with Mia. And Warren (
Noah Wyle
), who hasn't seen his parents for three years, has a bitter grudge against his father and hasn't been able to get his former girlfriend Daphne (Arija Bareikis) out of his mind. Co-star
Noah Wyle
also served as associate producer. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
