Dan Levy & Mary Holland Steal The Show
4 December 2020
I watched Happiest Season last night.

It's billed as a Christmas movie, but it's not really. It just happens to be set at Christmas.

It's really a movie about a gay couple (Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis), visiting one of their parents for 5 days. Just before they get there, one of them reveals not only do her parents not know she is in a relationship, they don't know she is gay.

So lots of awkward situations arise, and believe me, they are awkward, not funny. I did laugh a few times, but it was at two of the supporting characters played by Dan Levy and Mary Holland.

I thought the ending was totally undeserved, as one half of the couple was incredibly selfish and unlikeable. Everything is tied up in a neat bow, when it's not really earned.

This won't make its way onto my Christmas Movies To Watch In December List
