Weston Tate (James Woods) is an alcoholic Viet Nam veteran struggling to hold on to the family's farm; he often brags about his grand plans for the place, but in truth the land is just one step away from foreclosure. His wife Ella (Kathy Bates) is determined to hold her family together, though she often dreams of running away and isn't above sleeping with corrupt land developer Taylor (Randy Quaid) if it will help keep the farm in her family's hands. Their son Wesely (Henry Thomas) has the soul of a poet and dreams of a better life, while his sister Emma (Kristin Fiorella) has inherited her mother's strength, but also her mother's burden in holding the Tates together. Noted filmmaker Bruce Beresford adapted Shepard's play for the screen and served as executive producer; Michael McClary directed. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide.</p> Video Detective http://video.tvguide.com/ID/823171?rss=object Mon, 17 Mar 2008 07:55:26 -0400 <p><a href="http://video.tvguide.com/ID/823171?rss=object"><img align="left" border="0" src="http://videodetective.com/photos/128/00540511_.jpg" width="60" height="45" alt="Curse Of The Starving Class" style="margin:0 5px 5px" /></a>Based on the award-winning play by Sam Shepard, this drama offers an unblinking look at a family desperately clinging to the last threads of the American dream.
