    Things will get better

    Who doesn't love a wee Christmas movie that warms you up and make you grateful for all you have. It also reminds you that although life can throw you curve balls, it won't be like that for ever. Things will get better.

    Unfortunately unlikable

    With the exception of Sonequa Martin-Green, there is not a single likeable character. She must have been exhausted carrying the whole damn movie!

    It's not a *bad* film, but it feels about 3 hours long and the hideously unpleasant child characters kind of make you hope they have a crummy christmas.

    Worst of all, sadly, is the dad... sheesh... wooden as a door!

    Over acting show

    With so many good actors on the cast it seemed like a parody or something ridiculous. The kids especially tried too hard. I think I stopped at around 30 mins in cause it was too much for me..🙌

    It's not totally useless, but misses something

    Although engaging in a way, it misses something. It feels like a half-hearted christmas story, that is totally predictable and all and sure it's about family values and such. But it left me wondering, what am I missing...? Hence the half-hearted rating.

    Not As Bad....

    Not sure about the bad reviews but I actually enjoyed this film. I thought the kids played exactly how they were written to be: entitled, spoiled, bougie kids who have been given everything, never knowing sacrifice, lack and hardship. I enjoyed the story, the acting (the actress who played Roxie was great!). It's a Christmas movie - give it a chance.
