Marty Pascal is bringing his fiancée home to Washington, D.C. to meet his family for Thanksgiving dinner. Marty hasn't told Lesly too much about his mother, twin sister Jackie-O and younger brother Anthony, but before the evening is through, Lesly, whose modest upbringing in rural Pennsylvania gives her nothing in common with this affluent clan, will know more than she ever wanted to about the severely dysfunctional Pascals. When inclement weather causes the power in the house to go out, the plans for a formal turkey dinner are dashed, leaving the Pascals with nothing to do but drink rum and Pepsi and reminisce about days gone by. However, when dark secrets and shocking revelations are unleashed upon the unassuming, naive outsider, her idealistic hopes for a pleasant encounter with her future in-laws are completely destroyed. "Parker Posey, sensational as the Jackie-O wannabe sister, leads an attractive cast through the movie's dementedly campy comedy and crisp, Edward Albee-esque dialogue." -- Howard Karren (Premiere) "Gothic absurdism... Parker Posey (stars) as a demented young woman who thinks she's Jackie Kennedy and has been in love with her brother ever since they slept together when they were teenagers... Incredibly synthetic, like Tennessee Williams gone Fox TV, but Posey's high-camp magnetism holds it together." -- Lisa Schwarzbaum (Entertainment Weekly)
