Starring straight people.

Kristen Stewart is straight? Since when?

I watched it. It reminded me a lot of The Family Stone, Except Kristen Stewart is much more likable than SJP, and role of Claire Danes is played by Dan Levy.

Oh FFS, another coming out story? What year is it?

There was a gay Christmas movie something like twenty years ago (I think Aida Turturro was in it) and no one in it came out.

It’s not a coming out story.

No one wants to see a Christmas movie about lezzies.

NO ONE

This movie is such a snoozefest. Dan Levy is the gayest best friend who is pet sitting and giving sage advice over the phone to Ms. Stewart. What a come down for Ms. Stewart to even be in this movie. Nothing but a paycheck for everyone.

Dan is fast squandering his good will from Schitts Creek with drivel like this movie.

I don't even think Jussie Smollett who is desperate for an acting job would accept Dan Levy's role. The movie is that bad.

The les are friendly and pretty in this. Where are they from... North Pole? Not realistic!

Good for Clea. I'd like to see this film.

There seems to be a surplus of retards making their conservative opinions known on twitter.

The movie is OK, but the family hosting the Christmas gathering did not resemble any human beings I have ever met, although they (slightly) normalized by the end.

Well, then someone should tell the Washington Post, because the article from then linked at the top of the thread on Twitter describes the plot as just that.

Why does this all sound so familiar...

I have always liked Clea, but the trailer for this looked very cloying—definitely not my taste. I also find Kristen Stewart absolutely insufferable (as both an actress and a person); Mackenzie Davis by contrast seems like a cool person, but there is something about her acting that I also find grating. She definitely pings to me as a lesbian too, but as far as I know, she's never admitted it.

The movie is a hard watch. Kristen Stewart and Aubrey plaza have actual chemistry but she bizarre stays with her toxic girlfriend Mackenzie Davis who treats her like shit. Dan levy gets adopted into the family by Mackenzie Davis’s ugly sister (who apparently co-wrote the movie) and by the end he’s seemingly been transferred to her character as the gay best friend.

It’s boring and dated and you don’t root for the couple to ever be together.

I wonder if Clea has ever seen a romcom. She seems completely humorless IRL.

Skip it.

It's really more like The Family Stone, except you don't want Kristen Stewart to get run over by a truck.

I was secretly hoping that Dan Levy would end up with Jake McDorman.

Clea has the nerve to have two mixed race children made to seem like small time sociopaths who set up Kristen Stewart for arrest and are seen smirking when the store alarm goes off.

Would she do that to two white children? There is a message here I fear.

R19 Sit down bitch.

It was a little puffball movie. Perfect to have on in the background as I cooked yesterday. Light, predictable, sweet.

Aubrey Plaza is always a treat. As is Victor Garber playing straight.

Kristen should have ended up with Aubrey Plaza.

Aubrey plaza’s reaction to Dan Levy yapping about secret Santa in this press clip is glorious.

R23 I think people confuse things that are going on in Daniel’s life as being Gay, when they are actually about being Canadian. Not that he isn’t very Gay, because he is, but he is also very Canadian.

R17 nailed it. The movie didn't have any characters you were rooting for. In a rom-com? Really?

That's Clea in OP's pic? I thought it was Steve Antin post-surgery.

Is the youngest daughter Clea’s girlfriend irl?

The two twin kids were frightening, sociopathic and in need of therapy...their characters I mean.

Clea always looks as if the pussy she's been eating has gone bad.

It was a okay. Aubrey Plaza stole the film. I found myself wanting more from her.

[quote]Is the youngest daughter Clea’s girlfriend irl? No, just her writing partner. They became friends while working on VEEP.

SCHLORP!

The youngest sister was funny and whacky. How did she become so close to Dan Levy's character. That is a stretch as he would have zero tolerance for her nonsense.

Kristen Stewart is a natural beauty and has screen charisma. I give her that.

R34 thanks for the laugh.

I watched it this afternoon. It was alright. I felt it was a bit dated . But I liked the bitchy sister Sloane. And if her husband was going to be caught making out with anyone in a closet, I would guess it would be a man.

I understand some people don’t like her acting style but Stewart is gorgeous.

R37, I think "gorgeous" doesn't apply. She's attractive. But she's not a classically beautiful woman by any stretch. She has the body of a 12 yo boy and the style of one too.

She looks like nearly any woman on a college campus.

R38 Mmm don’t agree. She’s a very pretty lady.

Read a review today that said this is a far less subversive (and good) movie than the Hepburn/Grant Holiday.

I've seen neither but I'm sure the DL has.

She’s beautiful. That’s not what every woman on a college campus looks like. Please.

Ugh, this movie looks terrible. I like both Kristen and Mackenzie but Clea does seem humourless. Which is odd because she was in But I'm a Cheerleader. You would think she picked up some comedic tips.

There’s nothing about this movie that’s similar to The Family Stone other than being set at Christmas and involving a bitchy sister.
