Johnson Family Christmas Dinner (2008)
This comedy-drama focuses on the trials and tribulations that a family goes through, always reconnecting over Sunday, possibly Christmas, dinner. As a mother and father observe the unfortunate events of their grown children's lives, they must pick when and where to become involved. From Alex, who opened a failed restaurant with her husband Sam; to Robert Jr. who's just welcomed a new baby; to Rebecca, who suffers from a seasonal irritable-bowel syndrome; the dinner table sees its share of laughter and tears, but over time each one learns that they depend on one another to get through it--even when they're at one another's throats.
