The Review

Christmas is a time for family and friends to get together. Unfortunately, it doesn't always go as planned. This holiday season we get to meet the Coopers. A dysfunctional family that tries so hard to present themselves in a way that the others will approve that they get lost in the shuffle. Each of them must learn something about themselves and the only they can do it is with the help of those around them. Sounds like a touching holiday movie... doesn't it??? Well, not so much. It's more of a collaboration/combination of "A Christmas Story" + "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" + "This Is Where I Leave You"... Taking pieces of these stories, whether through inspiration or idea, it ends up something that will most likely become a classic amongst some... and a headache for others. There are multiple comedic moments throughout but as a whole, it's more of a dramatic tale of woe that somehow manages to salvage itself before it gets lost. With saying that, I don't mean to sound so harsh. It is an enjoyable family friendly holiday film. Some of the subject matter might need explaining but there is nothing that crosses that boundary in language or topics that would make you want to shy away. A surprisingly friendly comedy that just tried too hard to be... something... and fell a bit short...
