And you thought family was complicated

Newly-divorced actress Molly, her recently-dumped lesbian best friend Abby and Molly’s mother Helen host a dysfunctional, comical and chaotic Thanksgiving dinner for their motley crew of close friends and strange acquaintances.

    I love your weird voice Kat Dennings

  • Review by JBird ★½ 3

    When your friends become your fam,
    Invite them over with no plan.
    Don't worry bout food,
    No one's in the mood,
    To eat turkey made in a short time span.

  • Review by B E R T ★★ 3

    A fantastic supporting cast full of great actors and a handful of laughs can’t save this flick from becoming tiresome after the first 30 minutes. It started out ok, a few chuckles here and there, but after a bit of time I grew tired of the whole thing. Is Kat Dennings gonna play herself in everything? It seems so. Is Malin Akerman ever gonna realise she isn’t funny and stop wasting her talents in these dumb comedies? It seems unlikely. Not the worst comedy ever but also nothing at all great about it either. Below average.

  • Review by Tim McClelland ★½

    A painfully unfunny and slow-paced film that assumes a cast of talented people can save a sh*t script.

  • Review by The Introvert ★★

    Kind of a meandering mess of a movie with tonal issues.

    Is Chelsea Peretti typecast or did she leave Brooklyn 99 so she could play the same character in other projects? Because she is playing Gina.

    Most of this movie is forgettable, but the Fairy Gay Mother's scene with Kat Dennings, Wanda Sykes, Margaret Cho, and Fortune Feimster was hilarious.

    not enough lesbian content

  • Review by nadine 🔪 ★★½

    “That’s the whole point of Thanksgiving Molly! Sugar and regret!”

    Malin Åkerman gets yet another mom role but at least she’s the lead here and carries the majority of the film cojoined with Kat Dennings’ fresh-out-of-the-closet lesbian bff. really really like their chemistry, but neither one gets to truly showcase their talent here with such weak writing. unfunny and weirdly shot like a reality tv show, which doesn’t do the already strained comedy any service. there are some genuine self-realization bits but overall it fails to develop the characters in a meaningful way you haven’t seen (& done better) dozens of times before.I can recommend Dollface with Dennings & Åkerman though, an awesome, quirky show at hulu with much better breakup discourse.

  • Review by kowalski 🫀 ★★★ 1

    i enjoyed watching fictional characters get together in groups of 10 or more during this pandemic

  • Review by Sidney ★★

    kat dennings is a lesbian in this and that’s all that matters

  • Review by Rachel ★★

    How did such a funny cast make such an unfunny movie? Also the weird 4th wall breaking dating profiles were jarring and stupid.

  • Review by Nicholas Faron ★½

    Sandler and his gang could make a better comedy in their sleep.

  • Review by audrey lorraine 🦇 ★★★ 20

    Dramatically a little weak, but it's a straight-to-VOD movie called Friendsgiving; it's worthwhile if there's an adequate amount of laughs, unless you're someone who has 12 Angry Men and 2001: A Space Odyssey in your top 4 and owns a Criterion t-shirt — and in that case, no judgment here, but why watch Friendsgiving? I kid, mostly, but I really do think a lot of people have unrealistic ideas about what a film like this is trying to be. Most people (read: I) watched this because Kat Dennings plays a lesbian. And while Dennings isn't quite the highlight here (Malin Åkerman's real-life husband Jack Donnelly carries a lot of this on his [bare] back), I laughed a good bit. Putting…
