Here's one of those Holiday movies that follows the family on their way to the Holiday dinner. There is a big cast, mostly miscast or wasted with little or nothing to do. The exception is the Olvia Wilde character who you want to spend more time with as distinguished from the Tomei character who is given too much screen time.
There's a narration your not sure where it is coming from until the end. This worked well in "A Christmas Story"" it doesn't always work well here as the narration describes what is being shown on screen.
Even with it's glaring flaws it is a pleasant enough time at the movies. Lower you expectations and have a Holiday dinner with this group who are trying to keep the Holiday tradition alive at all costs.
