HE Christmas Movie

I didn't expect too much, I just wanted to see Kristen's face, but since I thought it was pretty good, let's talk about it.

The beginning was the exchange between the two before Christmas. I didn't expect that Kristen's height difference would not violate the harmony. In the early stage, I could feel that Harper would understand Abbey's unhappiness.

The impressive first wave of conflicts occurred in the car to Harper's house and ended with Abbey's compromise; the second wave of conflicts occurred when Harper's late return led Abbey to think that the other party didn't love him enough, and the two sides ignored them; The third wave of conflict is also the climax of the story, which mainly focuses on Harper's family facing the parents, and the sisters' different feelings erupted, and the two ended in an unhappy breakup. Until the family was honest with each other, the two were reunited.

The story feels quite ordinary and meets the expectations of the public very well. There is not too much love and entanglement, but it feels a bit too straightforward in emotional expression, and the rhythm is a bit fast. Maybe I prefer more subtle works. Overall, it's good as a Christmas movie, but it doesn't make much sense as a reference.

Happiest Season quotes

  • 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.

  • Harper: Sloane wasn't lying! I'm gay, and I am in love with Abby. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys sooner, but I know how much appearances and reputation matter to you. And me being gay didn't fit into the plan. But I let myself hurt Riley because I was so scared that you'd find out I wasn't who you wanted me to be, and I still regret it. I can't do that to Abby and throw away our life together. So I am done being scared, and I am done keeping secrets.

    [to Abby]

    Harper: I love you.

    Sloane: Eric and I are getting a divorce. We separated a few months ago. Truth is, I didn't tell you because without my family I'm worthless to you. We've spent our entire lives trying to earn your love, and I'm done too.

    Jane: I don't have any secrets, but I am an ally!

    Abby: I'm going to go.

    Harper: Wait, no. No! I did it!

    Abby: I'm sorry. It's just too late.
