You know the best part of the holiday season? Hanging out with your family!
OK, maybe sometimes that's not the BEST part; families are tricky little communities of biologically-linked individuals, each carrying a boatload of what NPR's Linda Holmes evocatively named "little weirdsies". Family can be a tough hang, at this or any time of year.
But what if... there was a family so perfectly warm and caring and charming that you'd break state (and possibly federal) laws to join them under false pretenses?
Somehow, this movie about a lonely orphan who develops an unhealthy fixation on an immoral comatose Chicago lawyer and ingratiates herself into his family AND THEN falls in love with the lawyer's woodworking brother manages to not only be not creepy but... charming?
I don't know, either. But I know kuh-RAH-tee.
Bullock! Pullman! And the best cast of character actors this side of an episode of TAXI... Jon Turtletaub directs the 1995 holiday rom-com WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING!
