This sort of Home for the Holidays fare is hardly new, and most of us get enough of it in real life. Go to Full Review

Elegantly folds together multiple storylines ... into a confection that is ultimately better because of its bitterness. Go to Full Review

Family secrets (and pregnancies) are revealed as Christmas approaches. It's a very French, messy dramedy that's perfect for that murky period before the New Year. Go to Full Review

12/26/2013 The French way to do a Christmas movie. Provoking characters torn between dysfunctional family life, careers and love affairs. See more 04/10/2012 Tenderly carved out delicacy... See more 01/23/2012 This was harmless enough. Just a fun, French, holiday movie. But fluff, really.... See more 01/17/2012 An enjoyable Frenchy comedy with nothing new on board! It's watchable but forgetable as well. The cast is good though. See more 12/20/2011 a lil soap-opera'ish, French-style, but still a good holiday movie about staying together as a family no matter what happens. See more 06/19/2011 Stanislas and Yvette had three daughters. She left him to marry another one. Stanislas leaves with the middle daughter, Louba, which is a Russian singer and dancer. Louba is for 12 years waiting for her affair, Gilbert, to leave his wife that is pregnant again. The oldest daughter, Sonia, repeats her parents marriage. The youngest daughter is Milla, a character that is not so easy to describe. It is necessary to watch the moive to understand this family dynamic, and to have fun with all the surprises.
