A grumpy prep school instructor must stay on campus over Christmas break to supervise a few stranded students. Over time, he bonds with a rebellious, intelligent teen and the school’s grieving head cook, who recently lost her son in Vietnam.

With Oscar®-winning support from Da’Vine Joy Randolph, an ornery Paul Giamatti leads a stellar ensemble cast through Alexander Payne’s riotous tale of found family. Sweetening the melancholy of its wintry New England setting with warmth and friendship, The Holdovers is an instant holiday classic.
