Overview

A curmudgeonly instructor at a New England prep school is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually, he forms an unlikely bond with one of them — a damaged, brainy troublemaker — and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam.

Viewing Notes

This might become an annual Christmas watch for me.  I love this film.  It takes place in the 1970’s and really does have the look and feel of the films I grew up on.  Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joy Randolph are fantastic.
