I'II Be Home for Christmas

No-nonsense assistant D.A. and single mom Jackie Foster (Mena Suvari) got exactly what she didn’t want for the holiday season: her estranged ex-cop dad Jack (James Brolin, who directed) showing up at her front door. While he thought he’d just be passing through town, his canny 8-year-old granddaughter Gracie (Giselle Eisenberg) is determined to patch up old wounds between the generations. Enjoyable effort co-stars John Reardon, Jacob Blair, Angela Asher. 84 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
