Foster on Film

I don’t think there is a holiday with less to represent it film-wise than Thanksgiving. Arbor Day does better.  It’s not shocking.  It is a holiday with not much of a theme. Sure you can go for the thankful bit, but that can be done better with a Christmas film.  And pilgrims and a  precursor to genocide limits the field. Assuming (as you should) that Miracle on 34th Street be classified as an Xmas flick, you are left with a few very unfunny comedies, and a few far worse dramas. So, I leave you with the only real option: Addams Family Values.  It isn’t a perfect film, and not as good as its predecessor, but it is fun, and witty, and will do the trick.

So Sing along:

Eat us! Hey, its Thanksgiving Day! Eat us, we make a nice buffet! We lost the race with Farmer Ed, eat us ’cause we’re good and dead. White man or red man from east, north or south, chop off our legs, and put ’em in your mouth!
