The Myth of Fingerprints
(1997)PILGRIMS It's a small-town New England holiday homecoming for glum Warren (Noah Wyle), reuniting with similarly dour siblings Mia (Julianne Moore), Jake (Michael Vartan), and Leigh (Laurel Holloman).
FAMILY SECRET Dad Hal (Roy Scheider) once made a pass at Warren's ex-girlfriend.
MEMORABLE LINE Hal, on his returning children: ''Hmm, there are more of them than I remember.''
FUN WITH FOOD Hal fires his rifle at a store-bought turkey and later claims he shot it in the wild.
SIDE DISH Moore met her future husband, writer/director Bart Freundlich, on the set. ''We started to see each other about two weeks into it,'' she told EW. ''It was casual. I don't think either of us was thinking that we were going to have two children!''
REASON TO BE THANKFUL For all this film's finely wrought characterizations, it's a relief not to be related to any of these sourpusses.
