It's Christmas, 1970, and just about everybody who attends or works at New England's Barton Academy prep school is gone for winter break. The friendship that develops between the only three who remain-a grouchy professor (Paul Giamatti), an unruly student (Dominic Sessa), and the head cook (Best Supporting Actress Oscar-winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph)-becomes an improbable source of comfort for all of them, in this affecting comedy/drama. Carrie Preston co-stars. 133 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Two-disc set.
