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.
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
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.
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
Damn this movie has some haters. While yes it is not perfect and some relationships come out of nowhere in the third act, I have a soft spot for these type of family drama/comedy. But it is not really a comedy out right. What’s crazy is that writer/director Thomas Bezucha has had the weirdest track record when it comes to directing. None of his movies I have to say are all the same. Between this Monte Carlo and 2020 most underrated film Let Him Go he does a good job at pulling emotional moments from his actors. Some of these actors give it their all to make this not just good acting but warm and so welcoming. It is a…
