The lineup can also work well

The beginning is the process of two people meeting and loving each other, and the end is the mother's social account. This kind of structure is very good and interesting. It can be seen that it is a movie made with heart.

The quality of the plot in the middle is okay. Although there are some grooves, it is not distracting. The structure is quite compact, and it may seem easier to substitute in it.

In addition to being funny and direct, there is no lack of profound themes. When two people love each other and face the real and imperfect counterpart, should they give each other a perfect opportunity? The benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom.

Remove some slots, and overall it is a happy holiday movie, just happy. After all, it only takes one hundred minutes, so what do you do so serious during the holidays? These things are left to independent filmmaking.

Happiest Season quotes

  • John: Hey, Harper not coming out to her parents has nothing to do with you.

    Abby: How could it not?

    John: Remind me, what did your parents say when you told them you were gay?

    Abby: Um, that they loved and supported me.

    John: That's amazing! My dad kicked me out of the house and didn't talk to me for 13 years after I told him. Everybody's story is different. There's your version and my version, and everything in between. But the one thing all of those stories have in common is that moment right before you say those words. When your heart is racing and you don't know what's coming next. That moment's really terrifying! And once you say those words, you can't un-say them. A chapter has ended, and a new one's begun. You have to be ready for that. You can't do it for anyone else.

    John: Just because Harper isn't ready doesn't mean she never will be, and it doesn't mean she doesn't love you.

  • Tipper: We have been so worried about seeming perfect, but maybe we don't even know what perfect is. We have one daughter who has been unhappy in a marriage and felt like she couldn't tell us! And another daughter who just had her heart broken because she was afraid we wouldn't love her if she told us the truth. And the only reason that Jane is okay is because we gave up on her after she wouldn't stop biting in preschool. That is very far from perfect, if you ask me.
