Fox to Air 3 'A-List' Movies Thanksgiving Weekend

Fox is fixing up a delicious star-studded holiday weekend with the World Broadcast Premieres of Cheaper By the Dozen on Nov. 22, Spider-Man 2 on Nov. 23 and Bruce Almighty on Nov. 24. Join Jim Carrey, Jennifer Aniston, Steve Martin, Kirsten Dunst, Tobey Maguire and Hilary Duff for a Thanksgiving to remember!

For the first course, FOX starts off with the World Broadcast Premiere of Cheaper By the Dozen Wednesday, Nov. 22 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). When Tom Baker (Steve Martin) gets his dream job of coaching his alma mater's football team, he uproots his family of 12 from small-town Illinois to the big city. Meanwhile, his wife, Kate (Bonnie Hunt), also achieves her dream of having her book published. While Kate is away promoting the book, Tom has a hard time balancing his family life while coaching his football team, and the happy family starts falling apart.

Spider-Man 2 has its World Broadcast Premiere on Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 23 (8:00-10:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Tobey Maguire returns as the mild-mannered Peter Parker, now struggling to balance his dual life as college student and superhuman crime-fighter. Peter's life becomes even more complicated when he confronts a new nemesis, the brilliant Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), who has been reincarnated as the maniacal and multi-tentacled "Doc Ock." When Doc Ock kidnaps Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst), Spider-Man must swing back into action as the adventure reaches unprecedented heights of excitement.

The next night (Friday, Nov. 24, 8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), Bruce Almighty, another World Broadcast Premiere, will be served on FOX. Jim Carrey stars as Bruce, a local TV news reporter who is dissatisfied with nearly everything in his life - and lets everyone, including his girlfriend, Grace (Jennifer Aniston), know it.
