[edit] Plot

Dutch Dooley (Ed O'Neill) agrees to drive his girlfriend's twelve-year-old son Doyle (Ethan Embry) home for Thanksgiving, hoping that the trip will allow the two of them to develop a relationship and grow closer as a family. When Dutch arrives at Doyle's boarding school in Georgia, he discovers that Doyle is a stuck-up know-it-all who looks down on Dutch because of his blue collar upbringing. As the two of them travel from Georgia to Chicago, they encounter various obstacles that bring them closer together. They eventually arrive home just in time for Thanksgiving dinner.
