WHAT's COOKING? (vhs) anthology of and similar items

Pre-viewed for quality and the feature itself plays great with just a couple of seconds of lines over the end credits is the only hiccup. Box is in pretty good shape and the cassette looks like new. Perfect for old school tube TVs as the image will fill your square frame. Follows the Thanksgiving tradition of feasting among household tensions through the stories of four differant American families: one Jewish, one Latino, one Vietnamese, and one African American. Like an anthology, the four differant stories seem unrelated, at first glance. Culture clashes, generation gaps, sexual identities, divorce, and other family flash points get addressed with sincere writing and delicate acting by all involved. More of a drama than a comedy as the box would suggest, with some humour that most people will be able to identify with. And it has a Quentin Tarantino like finish with a shocking, twist ending that unites all four stories that I didn't see coming and definately worth playing during the holiday.
