Their comfortable existence goes awry when prodigal daughter Nina Ostroff (Leighton Meester), newly broken up with her fiancé Ethan (Sam Rosen), returns home for Thanksgiving after a five-year absence. Rather than developing an interest in the successful son of her neighbors, Toby Walling (Adam Brody), which would please both families, it's her parents' best friend David who captures Nina's attention. -- (C) ATO Pictures

Critic Reviews
-
Guy Lodge, Time Out
The intervention of Tony Soprano, who lives not far away, is urgently called for.
-
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
The Oranges does not taste freshly squeezed.
-
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
The leafy green trees evident everywhere in what purports to be New Jersey Christmas scenes aren't the only thing that feels off in the predictable domestic bedroom comedy The Oranges.
-
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
You want something that plays a little sharper, and cuts a little deeper. You want something that demands more of its performers, and delivers more to its audience.
-
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
You know the movie has an insurmountable problem when the two adulterers, who profess to be madly in love, don't even seem like they want to be in the same room.
