Now 21-years-old and armed with the emotional support of her affectionate boyfriend Bobby (played by the ingratiating Derek Luke of Antwone Fisher fame), April less than eagerly embarks on a day of cooking and decoration to prepare her humble New York apartment for a Thanksgiving dinner with her estranged family.

He adds, "I don't know if there will be wide appeal to go see it, but I think the vast majority of people who do see it will be moved to tears...
