The rest of us regularly offer up our judgments every five years, when Harvard asks its graduates, male and female, to write about themselves for the class "Redbook," a "collective autobiography of triumphs and failures, bragging and tales of woe."

The story then cuts to 20 years later, with the annual Thanksgiving reunion with the folks (Roy Scheider and Blythe Danner). This year, all four children show up: Mia (Julianne Moore), Jake (Michael Vartan), Leigh (Laurel Holloman), and, somewhat unexpectedly, the long-absent Warren (Noah Wyle).
