House of Yes

House of Yes

Parker Posey was the It Girl of independent film in early 1997, the year this film (along with three or four others in which she starred) all played at the Sundance Film Festival. This film was the toughest of the bunch to embrace, based as it was on a self-consciously quirky off-Broadway play about Thanksgiving at the home of a particularly strange family. Oldest son Josh Hamilton comes home from college for the holidays, with fiancée Tori Spelling in tow. What he hasn't told her is that his twin sister, Jackie-O (played by Posey), thinks she's Jackie Kennedy--or that he and Jackie-O have shared more than, shall we say, filial affection. Posey is wonderfully edgy and she and Hamilton spar with entertaining vigor, but you still have to cope with writer-director Mark Waters's pretentious script. --Marshall Fine

    I loved the way they talk to each other. Especially the Mother. When she says things like “ why stay up if there’s no food or t.v., etc. and one of the bunch says that they could talk to each other… Mrs Pascal’s comeback is priceless, telling them that it’s a really bad idea, it only leads to trouble, take her word for it! I love it!! I’ve found her sentiments to be “ spot on”. From my personal experience, I find disfunctional families (that actually do love each other), to be the closest (like a secret club with secret handshakes, etc.), and very entertaining. I know many will not agree with me but I belong to just such a family (minus the incest and gunplay)! and we are very close from myself my 3 adult children (never quite understood that phraseology.lol) right down to grandkids. I watch “ House of Yes” around Thanksgiving every year.
