Only Rex, the family dog attempts to communicate with the alien, or at least he tries. Spend an evening with a liberal New York City couple when they visit a mid-western redneck family's home during Thanksgiving.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go back in time to meet your parent's parents as equals in their time? Who knew that you could do this by going fishing?
