Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

reldoc Incredibly predictable plot. I could have written a better version of this staple plot device. Yes, everyone's family has disagreements that can intrude on holiday celebrations. Please, at least make the cast small enough that you can have some character development. A great bunch of actors wasted.

javi-y-se-acabo I watched this movie just because it was on the TV and I got nothing better to do. And this is the typical Christmas holiday movie, but it is entertaining and funny.It tells the story of various members from the Cooper family and how they get to arrive to the Christmas Dinner. As in this kind of movies, there are a lot of characters and you might connect better with ones than others. For example, I think Amanda Seyfried here was misused, and she could have give more, as well as others like the little kids needed less time on-screen (that's also usual in this movies). The characters I liked the most are Eleanor portrayed by a beautiful Olivia Wilde and Sam portrayed by John Goodman. It's not that the acting is superb but for me they were some of the best of the movie.Of course it's not a perfect movie. Since the beginning you probably will guess how it will end. It's full of clichés of romantic-holiday movies but it's still very enjoyable. Watch it if you want to have a good time, and I think this movie is specially made for Christmas time, so better if you watch in that time.

kosmasp A festive movie about family, about values, about love and everything else. With a little twist at the end if you want to call it that. Other than that it is pretty much by the numbers (predictable that is). But it's a fun movie to watch and it's lovely to see another story about family interactions.If you like that kind of stuff that is. But it's light (drama included of course) and it's fun overall. The acting talent at hand is amazing and it's clear they're having a blast. I guess watching it around Christmas time makes the most sense, but you could also watch it anytime else and still have that good feeling

muhammedamelgammal This movie really was not anything special. There was not anything out of the ordinary. It was literally how families can get during the holiday season.The parents wanted to have the entire family over for dinner, and they wanted everything to be perfect. But despite their intentions, things were falling apart. They were on the verge of divorce, but did not want it to interfere with the holidays.After their struggles they seem to be able to realize that the holidays are about family and values.It was difficult to keep full attention to this movie.
