Country girl Rebecca has spent most of her life on a farm in South Dakota, and, when she goes away to college in Los Angeles, Rebecca immediately feels out of place in the daunting urban setting. She is befriended by a savvy party animal named Crawl, who convinces the ambivalent Rebecca to stay in the city. When Thanksgiving break rolls around, Rebecca, no longer an innocent farm girl, invites Crawl back to South Dakota, where he pretends to be her fiancé.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie centers entirely around Thanksgiving, not Christmas. While the plot involves a family gathering that might *occur* near the end of the year, the critical narrative hinge—Crawl being introduced to the family—is explicitly tied to Thanksgiving break. There is no indication of Christmas setting, iconography, or thematic centrality."
