Clever, Quirky, Dated, Entertaining, Well-played

See it if ur up for a skillfully played anti-holiday dramedy/farce in which 3 middle class couples reverse social status over 3 Xmases in 70s Britain.

Excruciating, Funny, Slow, Disappointing, Ambitious

Don't see it if You expect elaborate sets & lighting, don’t like imported shows, have trouble within men, not a fan of slapstick or pun-like humor Read more
