About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a low-stakes, offbeat family dramedy with a rural backdrop and more heart than holiday sparkle, somewhat in the vein of Prince Avalanche; Not for you if you need big laughs, fast pacing, or a full-on Christmas classic vibe.
Pros: warm-hearted message; quirky rural charm; gently funny moments | Cons: uneven pacing; not very Christmassy; kids may annoy
