About
You’ll likely enjoy this silly, holiday stoner comedy if you want carefree laughs and a friendship-driven night out; Not for you if you prefer more distinctive holiday stories like Girls Trip or The Hangover Part II.
Pros: strong friendship energy; plenty of laughs; great trio chemistry | Cons: familiar story beats; some jokes miss; plot feels long
