Synopsis:
Facing another Christmas alone, Drew Latham (Ben Affleck) decides
to go back to his idyllic childhood home to spend the holidays
with family. There is, however, one problem: the people living
there now are not Drew’s family. Nevertheless, Drew has
his mind set on an old-fashioned family Christmas, and the fact
that the "family" in question, the Valcos, are complete
strangers, isn’t about to put a crimp in his plans. Offering
them a small fortune, Drew bribes his newfound "parents"
(James Gandolfini and Catherine O’Hara) to let him spend
Christmas in their home, pretending to be part of the family.
Just when the Valcos begin to question if any amount of money
is worth being dragged all over town on such traditional family
holiday excursions as Christmas shopping and the requisite choosing
of the Christmas tree, their eldest daughter Alicia (Christina
Applegate) comes home for the holidays, with no intention of adopting
a new "brother."
