Movie Haiku:April (Holmes) & her Mom (Clarkson) have been going at it since Day One, but now Mom has breast cancer & April’s determined to make the most of what family members believe will be their last Thanksgiving together. Very sweet but completely predictable dysfunctional family melodrama with comic twists.
