Once upon a time The Emerson Family (well Dad and two Kids,
mom does not appear in this film) go to Crazy Hippy Aunt Cly (Mary Steenburgen)
in Turkey Hollow. The town is surrounded by a forest that is said to be haunted
by the Howling Hoodoo an evil monster that seems half troll / half bigfoot.
The eldest daughter is angry at being off the grid (no wifi
or cell service in Turkey Hollow), the younger son is sucked into the mystery
of the Howling Hoodoo and gets wrapped up in mystery, conspiracy, dirty money,
and poultry sales.
The movie is actually pretty cute, and Mary Steenburgen
plays her part well. The rest of the acting isn’t too bad either. This would be
a fun movie for kids. It has some good themes about family and the environment
and being a good person. The muppet things are cute as hell. So there we are - another Thanksgiving Movie!
