I was surprised to learn that the film had three separate writers. Although the plot appeared simple, the movie, despite featuring familiar faces, lacked any profound meaning. I typically seek out movies that hold a special place in my heart, like "Jingle All The Way" and many others, but contemporary films often fail to evoke that emotional resonance. One scene felt cliché, attempting to be inclusive by featuring every ethnicity and non-binary individual on one couch, potentially diluting its impact. Regarding technical aspects, the cinematography is minimal. While the aerial view of Los Angeles from 3400 feet is visually striking, it doesn't contribute much beyond that. Despite being advertised as a holiday movie, you will notice there isn't much in the film that reiterates this.
