About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a heartfelt, slightly more adult holiday family reunion with messy relationships, humor, and redemption, in the vein of Home for the Holidays or Tortilla Soup; Not for you if you dislike big, drama-heavy ensembles.
Pros: warm holiday spirit; strong ensemble chemistry; laughs and tears | Cons: many subplots; familiar family clichés; uneven pacing
