Sarah Jessica Parker's character is annoyingly wound-up - without explanation - and Rachel McAdams' character is annoyingly hostile - also without explanation - so first half feels quite dissonant. Also, like the family - comprising Diane Keaton, Craig T Nelson, Luke Wilson, Ty Giordano and Elizabeth Reaser - we can't comprehend what Dermot Mulroney sees in her.
Settles down when Claire Danes arrives and Wrong Sister Syndrome ensues. Parker's character doesn't look much more fun when wasted.
Michael Giacchino composed the seasonally-referencing music.
A film which is both pale and prickly.
