Watched it: Pieces of April

I rented this via amazon.com. You can rent movies and have them download them to your laptop. Movie prices are similar to Blockbuster etc and the selection is pretty good. Thiswas perfect since I was "couching it" with some sort of stomach bug.
Anyway, this movie was cute. I did not realize it was a Thanksgiving movie. I love Thanksgiving dysfunctional family movies. The other one that comes to mind is "Home for the Holidays" with Holly Hunter and a pre-rehab Robert Downey Jr.
This was starring Katie Holmes before she was brain-washed by Scientology goons and no, she does not "get naked". It was very low budget and filmed in a few weeks. It was heart warming as April tries to get her turkey cooked and gets to know her neighbors and their functioning ovens. April's family finally gets over their past and so does she. They have a great dinner and make a memory, complete with bow on top.
