‘Holiday Hostage’: The perfect movie for your entire dysfunctional family to watch together this Thanksgiving

This dysfunctional, Jewish family will surprise, shock and amuse you, before leaving you in splits and if that's not enticing enough, watch it for Janice from 'Friends'
UPDATED OCT 24, 2018

Wholesome entertainment is what you look forward to on holidays you spend with family. Movies that do not divide the whole family while also distract from real-world problems each member has an opposing opinion on – that's the sweet spot. If that’s what you’re looking for, Abby Walla and David Storch’s ‘Holiday Hostage’ would not even make your “maybe list”, but, its brilliantly devious plot is what makes it a must-watch this holiday season.  

The movie narrates the shocking turn of events at the home of a Jewish family during Thanksgiving dinner – an event most of us are forced to be a part of - and how an intruder forces them all to come clean on who they really are. Writers Storch and Walla reveal it is their own dysfunctional yet loving families that inspired them to write this contorted tale of (forced) togetherness. “There was a ton of material there,” Walla told Meaww.
