French Girl(2024)

We know, we know, its aZach Braff film.

Plus, the Vanessa Hudgens bisexuality subplot will be fun to discuss with your grandparents!

Cue: fierce infighting, some light gambling, and moments of truly touching grace.

Come November, its sobering drama (and touching humor) may well be just what the doctor ordered.

The touching dramedy then follows Dans crush on a woman who turns out to be his brothers girlfriend.

Talk about Thanksgiving drama!

Whats Cooking?

Cue a day of familial chaos.

While the play itself goes down in flames (literally!

Keep tissues handy when youre watchingScent of a Woman.

(Plus, Jeremy Irons!

And Ron Silver in a truly wild interpretation of a pre-Trump Alan Dershowitz!)

Cue it up, and prepare for the entire family to be totally enchanted.

Rocky(1976)

In our books, conflict + a climactic meal = the perfect Thanksgiving fare.
