This film begins with a lot of promise and examines an issue many will be familiar with at Christmastime, or even year round. The mother, Joy, does much unpaid and unappreciated work around the house, despite being the busiest member of the household and running a successful business. Her husband and grown sons cannot seem to function or run their own events.
She goes on strike, as she should, queen behaviour. She eventually caves on this guided by the advice of her mother, who advises that compromise is the key to happiness at Christmas, which doesn't send a great message. The only way this film could have been saved is if it had ended in divorce.
This film also has shocking casting. You have to have a very large imagination to believe that these 35 year old men are actually teenagers.
