A friendly fuzzy Christmas lesbian movie - K-Stew is an engaging protagonist, much of the various family eccentrics around her are intriguing (in particular Mary Holland in the surely-this-was-written-for-late-90s-Missi-Pyle role of the awkward middle sister), and there's scene stealers on the edge of the story (Daniel Levy in the gay-best-friend-role, Aubrey Plaza in the mildly annoyed ex role). And it does let the not-quite-right-ness of the setup be a feature, not a bug. It does suffer slightly from being a comedy with not-a-lot-of-big-laugh-scenes in it, but it's gently genial and will be fine holiday viewing for years to come.
