Feel-good Christmas comedy-drama centered around the dysfunctional Cooper family. The all-star brood includes Amanda Seyfriend, John Goodman, Diane Keaton, Alan Arkin, Ed Helms, Olivia Wilde and Marisa Tomei.
Four generations of the Coopers come together for their annual holiday celebration. This year, unexpected visitors and unlikely events turn their season upside down, leading them all toward a surprising rediscovery of family bonds. From the writer of P.S. I Love You and the director of I Am Sam.
Despite the impressive cast, this is a thoroughly contrived and trite festive film. It could easily be swapped with any other that follows a group of well-off white Americans who overcome their various troubles and differences to have a nice Christmas together.

Even with such a talented ensemble, Love The Coopers' convoluted narrative and overreliance on Christmas clichés keeps it from sparking any real holiday magic.
