I wanted to like this movie. I loved the idea of a family trying something different. Having a nice quiet holiday to reconnect with each other and also save a bit of money. I can kind of relate and was excited to watch a christmas movie aimed at the introverts of the world who just want to be left alone.
The neighbours reactions were over the top and aggressive. I was hoping this was for dramatic effect and the moral of the movie would be that they decided to skip the excessive spending every year as they had fun being different. But nope, they decide to conform and celebrate Christmas like they always have to keep their 23 year old daughter happy. Sigh.
Turned off the movie after the phone call so can't speak for the rest of the movie but I assume all the neighbours helped and it was a happy fun Christmas because they conformed and gave into the bullies demands.
