Day 99 continued - The Oranges (American)

"The enduring friendship between the Walling and Ostroff families is tested when Nina, the prodigal Ostroff daughter, returns home for the holidays after a five-year absence and enters into an affair with David, head of the Walling family." - IMdb

Despite the talent of Hugh Laurie and Oliver Platt this film fails to be entertaining. The script wasn't that bad but it needed to be more realistic. The acting was kind of there but felt like the younger cast kind of held the film back. The ending was so predictable, it left a kind of bad taste in my mouth. It made the film seem a lot more simpler than it was. In better hands this would have been a good movie.
