'Molly and Abbey, along with their crew of close friends and acquaintances, host a dysfunctional, comical and chaotic Thanksgiving dinner.'
When it comes to my 12 Days series, it's not always easy finding movies set around Thanksgiving. There's Home for the Holidays and Planes, Trains and Automobiles and a few others, but the list isn't a long one. Fortunately, this year we had a new film set around turkey day, just released last month.
Friendsgiving has become a popular term the last few years, describing friends, not family, who gather together for the holiday. Friendsgiving, written and directed by Nicol Panone was actually filmed back in 2018 but was just released in America and the UK this year.
With a cast headed by Malin Ackerman and Kat Dennings, the film has a boy toy in the form of Jeff for some additional visual appeal. Jeff is played by British actor Jack Donnelly, best known for his role on the fantasy drama series Atlantis. Director Panone establishes Jeff's new relationship with Molly (Ackerman) in a few hot scenes in the films opening few minutes. I'd not heard of Jack Donnelly before, but he was an interesting actor I look forward to seeing more of.
