A lot of even older films can be expensive on demand (it's ridiculous though yes various films are free and you have so much other stuff to watch), but this one was reasonable ($2.99 or $3.99). It is about four ethnic families (black, Asian, Hispanic, Jewish) celebrating Thanksgiving with various problems going on that mostly work themselves out somehow.
Very good cast, though the Asian family stands out a bit less even with Joan Chen. The director is better known for her English/Indian works (including Bend It Like Beckham and Bride and Prejudice). The Sven film last weekend was the original Dracula. Bela seems less scary and more silly than some vampires and the nemesis more of an old professor type. From what I can tell, great atmosphere. Did not really watch it though saw bits of it.
