Carla Hay Culture Mix [The movie] is not as sappy and predictable as it first appears to be, but there are still some blatant formulaic, tearjerking moments in this family dramedy that's elevated by a memorable performance by Olivia-Mai Barrett. Dec 21, 2020 Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media Sweet but forgettable holiday drama has drinking, language. Rated: 2/5 Nov 13, 2020 Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files Decked out like a traditional feel good romantic comedy, but underneath the wrapping it's a heartfelt and authentic look at the grieving process.

Guiselle C Not funny at all. Dad is a disgusting jerk and nothing about him makes the viewer want to root for a happy ending. He doesn't seem to like his daughter and berates her throughout the movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Mackenzie G I thought it was a good movie. Comedic but also heavy hearted. Grief was a main component in this movie and the characters are trying to navigate their loss whilst retaining some normalcy. Not as terrible as everyone is making it out to seem. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Maria S The description said it was “Light hearted, amusing and charming.”. It was neither of the three. I disliked this movie. It was not a feel good movie to me. Quite the bummer, actually. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Striker C Suuuucked. Suuu hu hu hu ked Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review kareenacat H This movie said it was a comedy... I figured that the dad would be going on all these hysterical Christmas dates that his daughter conjured up... It was a very depressing movie. The father was extremely angry and took out a lot of anger on an old fling or friend for no reason..... The daughter was lashing out her anger and her frustration over grieving her mother......the movie was just so sad... So depressing... Why did they call this a comedy!!!!! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review A H I didn’t quit the movie, so partial score for that. The father is a complete ahole that comes off as smug and narcissistic. His disassociating throughout the film felt poorly portrayed and unrealistic. He is a total ahole to people in his life and isn’t held accountable at all. What the heck was up with him being absolutely brutal to his old friend/date for no good reason, and just days later he is ok with moving on when a rando basic blonde out of nowhere sits by him? He was looking at her really shifty and I would have immediately been uncomfortable and left if I had been in her shoes. His daughter gave him ample red flags that she was troubled but he has zero emotional intelligence … and yet the whole premise is that we are supposed to care about whether or not he moves on? I felt bad for his kid, his ex, his old friend, and everyone else that has to look at him. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
