Synopsis

Jackie-O is anxiously awaiting the visit of her brother home for Thanksgiving, but isn’t expecting him to bring a friend. She’s even more shocked to learn that this friend is his fiance. It soon becomes clear that Jackie Kennedy’s obsession is nothing compared to her obsession with her brother, as it also becomes clear she isn’t the only member of the family with problems. —IMDb

I love Parker Posey. Pretty static in terms of filming but brilliantly demented screenplay with awesomely fucked up characters.

A well-executed adaptation of a stage play. Park Posey lights up the screen with a character that is alternately psychotic, sexy, terrifying, and sympathetic. Definitely a performance that justifies her status as an "It" girl during the 90's. Unfortunately, Josh Hamilton is a bit too bland and vanilla to be believable as her character's equal. Though Freddie Prinze Jr. is surprisingly good as an awkward virgin.
