Pieces of April Summary Katie Holmes Is "terrific" (people) As The Quirky Black Sheep Of Her Family In This Delightful Comedy-drama That "sparkles With Acerbic Wit, Original Characters And Genuine Heart" (variety). Academy AwardÂ(r) Nominee* Patricia Clarkson Gives "a Career-making Performance" (boxoffice), And "the Entire Cast Is Inspired" (film Threat) In This "moving, Hilarious Comedy" (people). Rebellious Daughter April Burns (holmes) Has Offered To Host An Elaborate Thanksgiving Dinner For Her Suburban Clan In Her Grubby Lower East Side Apartment. But Her Attempts To Create An Unforgettable Feast Go Awry When She Discovers That Her Oven Doesn't Work. Now, Asher Weary Family Makes Its Way To The City, April Must Rely On The Kindness Of Strangers To Pull Off The Perfect Meal And The Perfect Memory. *2003: Supporting Actress, Pieces Of April

The plot of Pieces of April, a sweet independent film, couldn't be simpler: As a raffish young woman named April (chipmunk-cute Katie Holmes, Wonder Boys, Dawson's Creek) struggles to cook Thanksgiving dinner in her dingy, cramped New York apartment, her estranged family slowly drives toward the city, stopping now and then to question why they're going to a meal they expect to be not only bad to eat, but awkward and unhappy. The writing, acting, and directing of Pieces of April ranges from straightforward to clumsy--and yet the movie builds to a surprisingly potent emotional conclusion. Much of the credit goes to wily Patricia Clarkson (High Art, The Station Agent), who plays April's cancer-ridden mother with a compelling mixture of sadness, rebellion, and wistful hope. Also featuring Oliver Platt (Funny Bones), Sean Hayes (Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss), and Derek Luke (Antwone Fisher). --Bret Fetzer
