"Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray does a better job of getting its viewers interested in a holiday. Not that the goal of "Pieces of April" is to get its viewers excited about Thanksgiving. All I'm saying is that it would be nice if a film did exist that really could put me in the Thanksgiving mood. I guess that I will just have to settle for the Thanksgiving Day Parade, which I will miss this year because I will be traveling to Grandma Eloe's house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-90458526595590979802007-11-21T23:06:00.000-07:002007-11-21T23:06:00.000-07:00My favorite Thanksgiving-related bit from a movie ...My favorite Thanksgiving-related bit from a movie is <B>by far</B> the Thanksgiving feast skit in <I>Addams Family Values</I>, an amazing jewel of comedic film.<BR/><BR/>"Eat me!

I think John Candy was a very underrated actor. Not only is he hilarious in PTaA, but shows he had the chops to be dramatic too. I watch this every Thanksgiving time.Andohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131797508553759211noreply@blogger.com
