    This film is great, because there are four different kinds of families present complex and sometimes comical American holiday themes. Also it's funny too.

    This film has captured that typical family holiday stress that I grew up with. Though it seemed to be a bit over the top, it was a nice attempt at inclusion of a variety of families. It's worth seeing.

    It's a meal you may feel you've eaten before, but you nonetheless walk away stuffed and happy.

    Her (Chadha) film tastily demonstrates that variety is the spice of not only American life, but of American cuisine.

    Like too many Thanksgiving dinners, too much squabbling really wreaks havoc on the digestion. Football, anyone?
