I think it was called Home for the Holidays, with Jodie Foster and Robert Downey Jr., who played a total arsehole.

Slow, mealy-mouth Hallmark card/Afterschool Special sentimentality combined with a strange mean streak in Robert Downey's character that made it impossible to like his character, though I probably wouldn't have liked him all that much anyway. The movie was cynically sappy and unlikeable; the kind of slick hooey that makes you feel like you need to take a shower afterward to wash off the stink of phoniness.

The girl was hot, but I was practically writhing in pain from the agony of having to put up with that stupid movie. It was so bad it really put me on edge; I was actually a combination of sad and angry to be a part of that movie experience.
