Perfect family Christmas film
21 July 2008
I went to watch this film thinking it was going to be a cheesy holiday film with annoying characters in it who weren't funny or likable at all. However i was surprised as this film was actually able to make me laugh as well as cry.

The characters were likable, Sarah Jessica Parker was a little uptight yet you couldn't help but feel sorry for her, while Rachel McAdams's character was nasty yet there is more depth to her as the film progresses. Good comedic performances are put in by Luke Wilson and even SJP. The whole star studded cast, including, Diane Keaton, Claire Danes and Dermot Mulroney, put in good performances which adds to the great chemistry of this interesting, and a little eccentric, family.

As well as the humour this film is also sweet and touching and very festive, perfect for watching at Christmas with your own family.
