Summary

On our journey to Christmas today we stop at a movie that exams family, dysfunction, communication, and laughter as we arrive on the "other side." As we look through the lenses of laughter we begin to understand that all families have the quirks, trials, and chaos. The question is where does love, faith, and forgiveness fit in. This is a "worth the watch" kind of movie as we get closer and closer to Christmas Day.
