The two best friends live in LA, where Peter's an on-set producer disgruntled with his job, and Nick is a handyman by day and best-selling children's author by night.Īs Christmas approaches, Peter invites Nick to come home with him after his latest relationship falls through. You might roll your eyes at the cliché 'fake relationship to appease overly-invested family' trope, but the film manages to turn it on its head. You can't help but feel bad for Peter's plight to get his family off his back (and maybe find true love on the way). There are a few eye-wincing scenes when the number of clichés gets a bit much: from a plant-obsessed millennial to Nick having no family to call his own (yes, this is all in the first ten minutes).īut once you embrace it, it becomes a lot more fun.
