Home for the Holidays
1995
**
Director: Jodie Foster
Cast: Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr., Charles Durning, Anne Bancroft

A fine cast is pretty much wasted in Jodie Foster's messy and confusing comedy about a dysfunctional family who gets together for the holidays. The film turns oddly serious just before the end. Based on a short story by Chris Radan.
