Family free for the Holidays...til they weren't
19 January 2024
Brad and Kate spend every holiday away from their families by going on vacations. They cover by saying they're inncoulating babies in Burma or helping teach English to Thai children. Fact is, they'd rather be anywhere but with their family (which is what the French version is titled)

We learn of Brad and Kate not wanting to marry, or have kids. But they're headed to Hawaii...until their flight gets cancelled and they have to visit each of their parents houses. Brad's Dad and Mom are separated and Kate's parents are divorced

Along the way they learn a bit about each other including Brad's actual given name is Orlando and despite having a great job and a nice living quarters, he's not well received when he comes home to his poor blue collar family. His brothers Denver and Dallas are amateur wrestlers who forcibly include Orlando/Brad in to the ring.

We also learn that Kate used to be heavier and a pariah in her family and community.

Throughout the day which includes a bounce house and a manger scene, we eagerly await what they view as the next step

I didn't care for the ending at all because I thought it should've ended differently.

I would give it a recommendation if you're looking to diversify your Christmas movies. It's fun, has a great message and the performances are solid.
