The best thing about this movie is how it starts off as a movie about Sarah Jessica Parker and then it becomes Diane Keaton's movie and then it's about Claire Danes for a while and it ultimately becomes Rachel McAdams's movie, which is how all movies should end.

(this is Rachel's best role, fight me)

rachel mcadams is so cute and mean while she wears a dinosaur jr shirt and carries an npr tote... merry christmas to ME!

this movie is so cozy and feels so realistic and i love it a lot. there’s just so many little details that exist almost as background noise but add so much to the story. like i love that they still have a few halloween decorations up even though it’s christmas time. and how diane keaton’s book has a publisher’s remainder mark. and the way they talk with ASL even when thad isn’t in the room. i love rachel mcadams’s dinosaur jr shirt and her npr bag. and how each of the kid’s rooms perfectly reflect their personalities. i love how diane keaton says “that’s you and me kid” after meredith gives everybody their christmas presents. i love all the little details and it’s probably my favorite christmas movie because of them.

all gay kids deserve a diane keaton to tell homophobes to stfu 😁

my mom started crying because she doesn’t like imagining diane keaton dead

no tea no shade this is my favorite christmas movie

who the hell invited mark brendanawicz

reasons rachel mcadams’ character is the ultimate bisexual: 

- dirty car
- under eye bags
- grunts at you when you tell them good morning
- wears too many layers 
- only looks peaceful when asleep 
- loves to start drama but gets offended when called out for it
- low key evil

Absolutely demented movie. If it came out in 2020 it’d have 86% on RT because we’re starving and, well, I guess I’m starving too. 

Love Mean McAdams, love Craig T. Nelson tenderly kissing his deaf gay son, and forever skeetin’ for Keaton. Three and a half stars!

Varies from a wildly acidic and harsh dysfunctional family drama to a cozy Christmas picture. Often the pieces don't fit but it has some moving moments (Craig T. Nelson is always quietly the greatest performer in the room).

when diane keaton points at rachel mcadams and says “that’s me and you, kid” ........ poetic cinemá

Rachel McAdams is such a savage ass bitch in this and I live for it.

You have a freak flag. You just don't fly it.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

?????????????? this movie was weird but it gets point for saying gay rights

Dermot Mulroney brings his uptight, upper-crust girlfriend (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) to his tight-knit, liberal family’s Christmas get-together, where he plans to ask for his grandmother’s wedding ring. The film mixes family drama and romantic comedy but commits to neither. The stellar cast’s innate charisma shines, but the film feels ashamed of its rom-com ambitions. It raises some interesting points around inclusion, tolerance, and dialogue, only to fall back on reductive tropes. It’s a rom-com dressed up in a family drama; as if it yearns to prove it’s about more than meet-cutes, but meet-cutes are all it offers.

this movie was just too good and im mad it took me this long to watch + it gave me that christmas buzz

There’s a lot of cruelty here but it’s mostly directed at Sarah Jessica Parker so... Merry Christmas to all.

"i am not a bad person!" ok homophobe!

yes we’re almost in March but we’re still in a pandemic and Christmas movies make me happier :( 
I’ve discovered this one on Disney + and it’s truly an underrated gem <3

you don't understand - i only watch this movie for the part when sjp says "i don't care whether you like me or not!" and rachel mcadams responds, "oh. of course you do. *sips coffee*" i lose my mind every time

Hmmmmmm...

No sly but amy mcadams is very good
