There's also the matter of Brad, whose character is responsible for the frustration present in the middle act of The Best Thanksgiving Ever. While initially introduced as the cynical realist to Kevin's relentless optimist, Brad quickly segues into toxic friend territory, repeatedly goading the clearly unwilling Kevin to join him in his night of alcohol-fueled night of casual sex, under the false guise of helping him get over his heartache. The fact that Brad is married only adds further salt to the wound, and even after Kevin delivers a cathartic tell-off rant to Brad, the film never allows for Brad to truly redeem himself for his behavior. It doesn't help that the closest thing he has to a redemption arc is tied in with a gag involving Brad and old high school classmate Samantha that is guaranteed to strike some the wrong way and render Brad thoroughly unlikable.

Great holiday movie composed of pure fun with a meaningful message about friendship at it's core. Great acting and a hilariously outrageous script set this movie apart from any mainstream comedy. Highly recommend.

Great movie for the holiday's with the boys. Don't want to spoil it but I was on the floor laughing a few times

This movie The Best Thanksgiving Ever: A Detroit Holiday Misadventure is a 10. You laugh so hard you forget you seeing a movie. I highly recommend you grab a friend and see this asap. Detroit is looking mighty fine. The music is outstanding!!

The story which was written by Michigan native David Paulus (Brad in the film) and directed by J.D. Shapiro was based on some actual events that happened one Thanksgiving to a friend of David.

Again this is one hilariously funny film with cameos from Eric Roberts and Ed O'Ross.

I have not laughed this hard for a movie except for Porky's, Bachelor Party, There's Something About Mary, to name a few. " I am hoping that it gets a major distribution deal so that it can be seen on more theater screens. Support this movie!

Definitely enjoyed this film. Some great cameos and very funny scenarios. Jay Seals did a phenomenal job as the dejected ex-boyfriend. Give it a watch!

I had to watch this Movie after David Paulus relentlessly kept plugging it on Kill Tony, my favorite TV show in the world.

After seeing David's standup, lets just say I was pleasantly surprised to find he made a funny movie. Really awesome cast and characters.

Was home for Thanksgiving one day and I randomly searched "Thanksgiving Movies" on Amazon. Ironically this popped up AND based in the same area I was raised in, DETROIT! Loved it to say the least! Mad that I found out about it years later but, glad I did. He needs to make a sequel! Maybe a Xmas one!
