| 1:33 | Damn, could have just kept watching that well animated, well narrated story. |
| 5:56 | Loving the dad already. |
| 9:01 | Great opening, like the beginning of a series of For All Mankind. |
| 18:02 | Was just starting to wonder what they were building to and whoop there it is. |
| 23:55 | “Odd how he’s so old but we haven’t aged at all.” |
| 35:58 | Being chased by the tiniest dog ever like it’s a weeping angel. |
| 44:15 | “It may not have been my style and… largely inaccurate…” |
| 1:01:32 | All of this is completely adorable. Who’s gonna end up buying this house? |
| 1:05:40 | He did all that driving and now all this working. Tired! |
| 1:09:37 | It’s not very bro code to say he’ll keep it quiet and then not. |
| 1:11:32 | “He’s so annoying.” “He’s satan in a fuzzy sweater.” |
| 1:14:41 | Woof, did not see that coming! |
| 1:15:28 | “Everyone can see you’re in a loveless marriage. But you are old. That is just marriage at this point.” |
| 1:24:21 | Breaking up under the twinkly Christmas lights is hard. |
| 1:36:33 | Yay the animation came back. |
Thoughts
I like that Lindsay Lohan is becoming the new queen of Christmas on Netflix, and I think this year’s film was just a bit better than the last one. It’s one of those contrived setups but there’s some good chemistry between the leads and Kristin Chenowith is brilliant as the dragon potential in-laws. It’s not the kind of film I’m going to seek out again or want to rewatch over and over at Christmas, but for our first festive movie for 2024, I’m happy with it.
Rating: 4 / 5
