Three stars is overstating the case, two and a half is more accurate. The characters were every cookie cutter assemblage you can imagine, pure stereotype and quite honestly, if a guy couldn't cut me some slack after knowing me three days and having no idea why I had to work Christmas or what the entire rest of my life was like other than that one snapshot, good riddance. Coming from a family with a firefighter, police officer, medical worker and a few shift workers we have often had to adjust our holiday celebrations to accommodate off beat schedules but you do it because you want to be with your family. It isn't about the one day on the calendar, it's about being a family all year long. The only saving graces were that the main character was likable enough and there was some humor. I would have told those celebs to get lost but I would have told that holier-than-thou do-gooder Alex the same thing.
