I wasn't sure what to expect with this movie seeing that Eddie Murphy's comedy tends to be on the crude and vulgar side more often than not, but this movie was pretty clean, content-wise. My husband and I laughed quite a bit. I loved the main couple's conversation of how their marriage viwis meant that they were a team and they always had each other's backs. That is how marriage should be. They're family had normal parent/child drama but there was still the sense of love and respect in the family. The story was unique and I loved the twist at the end. My favorite part was the ornament figurine characters. They were very funny and the CGI animation of these characters was truly just beautiful work! I was truly amazed at how lovely they were and liked the sound they made when the walked. I've never seen CGI portray something as porcelain or ceramic before, and this was really well done. I just loved watching them speak and move. I can't believe I actually saw CGI done that I admired! I usually find it an annoying or just really bad and cheap-looking. So someone should get an award for the work they did here. This movie was very enjoyable. It was a fun watch. I think it will go into my routine of holiday movies.
