Another wonderful quirky Thanksgiving film is "Pieces of April" with Katie Holmes and Patricia Clarkson and Oliver Platt. Much more edge than Home for the Holidays. I expect The Pain and the Itch to have that edge as well.

I just bought the ticket to the evening with the session Q & A after the play. I can't wait to see Matthew in the play. Should be fun. Worth going from California.
