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

Exhibit A for why it's a good idea to challenge your own prejudices in film from time to time---I enjoyed this far more than I ever expected to like a film featuring Tori Spelling AND Freddie Prinze Jr.

One of my all-time faves. The Mark Waters-penned adaptation of Wendy MacLeod's witty play is both funny and devastating. The movie belongs to Posey, of course, and she is nothing short of spectacular. Similarly, everyone else is at the top of their game, and if you have no problems with theatrical films, The House of Yes is the way to go!
