Christmas with the Andersons (2016)
Problems to easily solved
This movie was boring and not much character development. I knew from the start it was going to be bad. The opening scene is a man driving his wife that is in labor down a very remote dirt road that is little more than two tire ruts. But for some unknow reason a cop is sitting just off this remote road with no cars just waiting for speeders. Totally implausible. The family faces a series of problems and each problem is magically solved with little effort or story development. The cast show almost no emotion as they delve into these problems. The viewer is left with no buy in or reason to care weather this family makes it through their issues or not. One example is a woman that moves in with the family and helps solve some of their problems. Apparently this person was so horrible that when she lived with the family before they moved without telling the woman and leaving no forwarding address. But this time around the woman is wonderful and shows no hint of being a toxic person. So this part of the storyline makes no sense.

Great movie!
Thought the movie was funny and well acted by everyone. Great soundtrack. Was cool seeing a movie like this from a female perspective. I never heard of most of the actors. Hope to see many of them in future movies.
