Reunion

Cold-hearted professor Dominique is suffering from kidney failure. While attending the Smith and Wesson family reunion, she tries to approach estranged sister, CeCe, for a transplant. However, the two of them have too many unresolved issues from their childhood. At great emotional expense, CeCe tries to confront past demons to find forgiveness and healing. Struggling with her own vulnerability, Dominique is forced to do some soul searching to address personal shortcomings in order to save her own life. And as the events surrounding the reunion continue to unfold, family members uncover buried truths and love, yet family politics nevertheless persist with the Smiths vying to maintain dominance and shut out the Wesson faction.

Directed by Sheila Norman, Reunion leans on a strong ensemble — Trisha Mann, Carolyn Owens, Dickie Wrightsil — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2006.
