About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, heartwarming comedy about a couple forced to slow down and rethink what matters, with culture-clash humor; Not for you if you hate predictable, silly setups like in Surviving Christmas.
Pros: warm feel-good tone; fish-out-of-water laughs; gentle Amish setting | Cons: predictable story beats; uneven humor; far-fetched situations
