Romance, vengeance and burlesque: Thanksgiving movies to catch and to skip

The World

The biggest movie weekend of the year is upon us: there’s a lot to see. Mandy Moore stars in Disney’s “Tangled,” a new animated version of Rapunzel; Christina Aguilerra and Cher bare (almost) all in “Burlesque”; while Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal get caught in love’s addiction in “Love and Other Drugs.”

With so many options, it’s hard to choose. We ask movie contributor and Newsday film critic Rafer Guzman which movie is an absolute must see.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
