What is a good movie to see on Thanksgiving with my family (all "grown-ups")?

Asked by sfgal (283points) November 16th, 2007

Every Thanksgiving my family goes to a movie in the theaters together. It has grown increasingly challenging to find one that we will all tolerate, let alone enjoy. There are two of us in our 20s, plus our parents and my 83 year old grandfather. My dad doesn’t like anything “too frivolous” i.e. no stupid comedies and nothing too sexy, and my grandfather won’t see anything depressing or too complicated to follow. Help! My mom suggested Love in the Time of Cholera but I’m worried it might have lots of passionate sex scenes and will not be the kind of movie one wants to watch with dad and grandpa in tow. My mother insists that our movie date is a “family tradition” and won’t give up on it, so we need to find something!
p.s. last year we saw the Will Farell drama/comedy Stranger Than Fiction, which was more intellectual than his usual fare but still very entertaining, and everyone seemed to enjoy it.
