When Stephanie (Zoey Deutch) invites her family to California for the Holidays, little did they know they would be meeting her billionaire boyfriend Laird (James Franco). Things really go off the rails when Stephanie's parents Ned (Bryan Cranston) and Barb (Megan Mullally) learn that Laird plans to propose on Christmas Day. Will everyone make it through the Holidays in one piece?

This movie is pretty funny. I gave it an extra 1/2 star just because the cast is all in - everyone is hilarious. Keegan-Michael Key is particularily hysterical as Laird's assistant/trainer/security. He steals every scene he is in. I have to say the movie was better than I expected and it does have a sweet center. The Husband even thought it was good and he didn't particularly want to see it. There is still lots of bad language and stupid pranks, but it will make you laugh. Go see it. Leave the kids at home!
