It's a pretty harmless flick. I went into it expecting it to make me kind of sad (at how bad it might be), but there's a smattering of originality in the writing and enough excitement from the actors to lend it a sort of magic that makes it too fun to hate.
Sure, it's awkward, has a few scenes that linger too long, and generally doesn't make sense, but it's better than your general Hallmark tripe. It has plenty of dad-style jokes to make you yuk-yuk-yuk in spite of yourself, and it has cute visuals. I think my 5-year-old niece will like it.
I recommend it to anyone who can lighten up, anyone who likes weed, anyone who likes to riff, and anyone with chill kids who love dogs and Christmas.
