Nothing Like the Holidays 2008

Really enjoyed this. Shows the usual difficulties of a big family. The matriarch thinking her age and standing entitles her to dictate how her child's wife leads her life, a loving family that doesn't really ever communicate but once a year which invariable turns difficult, the males trying to fulfil some quaint sense of masculinity by performing some manual labour.

Also learnt a few things - had no idea Puerto Rican's were offered citizenship for enlisting, a real scandal.

Liked the Christmas theme of forgiveness with Ozzy's character. Liked the subtle story telling around that - the purposely backing off and exiting the store to show remorse without actively having a verbose conversation which would be out of character.
