Pieces of April: Katie Holmes plays April, a funky NYC type who tries to make some peace with her family over Thanksgiving. I liked the general story and found Holmes so likable here, but the premise is that April was this incredibly difficult, troubled kid, and I just didn't buy it. She probably wasn't an angel, but as portrayed here, she seemed like she was probably just a normal kid who was on the difficult side. But her mother claims she set fires, was obnoxious, and horrible, and it's just not there. That said, the film was sweet without being sappy and I did enjoy it.
