A family comes home for Christmas movie with pretty much the usual suspects as characters. What separates this one from most of the others is that it's not overly schmaltzy (or however you spell that word) and it's not a farce. Members of the family have their idiosyncracies, but despite their differences, they are a loving, functional family.
Some of the characters and situations go mildly over the top, but overall, it works.
3 out of 5 stars.
