A 1995 American dramedy film directed by Jodie Foster, starring an Ensemble Cast that includes Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr., Anne Bancroft, Charles Durning, Dylan McDermott, Geraldine Chaplin, Steve Guttenberg, Cynthia Stevenson, and Claire Danes.It follows single mother Claudia Larson (Hunter) as she returns to her childhood home in Baltimore to spend Thanksgiving with her parents and siblings. The circumstances are less than ideal: Claudia has just lost her job as an art restorer due to budget cuts, and her teenage daughter Kitt (Danes) is not only staying behind in Chicago to spend the holiday with her boyfriend, but announces – while dropping her mother off at the airport – that she's planning to lose her virginity to him over the weekend. And if all that isn't enough, Claudia's also suffering from a bad cold, which isn't helped by her losing her winter coat even before boarding the plane.Then there's Claudia's family, which includes her sweet but just-this-side-of-senile retired father Henry (Durning); her well-meaning but intrusive mother Adele (Bancroft); her deeply resentful sister Joanne (Stevenson), who's there with her uptight husband Walter (Guttenberg) and their bratty kids; and their dotty Aunt Gladys (Chaplin). The only one who Claudia is really able to confide in is her gay brother Tommy (Downey), who surprises everyone by showing up without his longtime boyfriend... but with his friend and coworker Leo (McDermott), who Claudia finds herself growing attracted to even though he is presumably Leo's new partner. | |

| Home for the Holidays / int_19209d54 | comment |
Sibling Rivalry: Joanne sees herself as the responsible and dutiful one who got married, had kids, and stayed behind to care for their parents while Claudia and Tommy went off to "live it up" as supposedly carefree singles. | |

Alpha Bitch: A scene has Claudia encountering her high school's former homecoming queen Ginny (Amy Yasbeck), who was presumably one of these... and hasn't changed much. | |
