Nope, it’s not a Tyler Perry production. Try Ed Burns. But Perry did have a hand in unwrapping this little gift of a movie. He inspired Burns to get back to those Irish Catholic roots he grew with the McMullens. Connie Britton co-stars opposite a cornucopia of familiar faces in the seasonal drama about a sprawling family making time for one another. It’s like:The Brothers McMullen meets The Family Stone. Take: Ma, Dad, and Cousin Vinny. Premieres: Today (on demand now)
Torn between two lovers: movie night and nature? Take in the former on a blanket at the park or at an old-fashioned drive-in — and leave the hard questions for some other day.
