    My biggest problem is Harper was a Trash girlfriend to Abbey. The writers went way to far with Harper being terrible. All she did was think about her own feelings and never about Abbey. 1) Harper lied to Abbey for months about being out to her Parents. 2) Harper didn't tell Abbey the truth until she was trapped into going to her parents. 3) Abbey didn't just hate Christmas, her parents died which made it difficult for Abbey to celebrate Christmas. Instead of Harper understanding or being sensitive about Abbey's feelings, Harper made it about Harper. 4) Harper was so worried about being outed she didn't spend anytime Abbey and continued to leave her alone with Harpers weird family. 5) Harper flirted and gave her EX hope of them getting back together. Harper being Gay had nothing to do with her flirting.

      Yea fr Harper was a trashy girlfriend honestly i know how hard it is to come out cuz i came out and my parents didn’t accept me but honestly i wouldn’t want to put my gf or bf or partner through the same thing like i understand why Harper didn’t say anything but she shouldn’t have left Abby alone when she went to the party or went off with Conner. Hell even Conner had a feeling something was going on with Harper after they broke up. But thing is with Abby, she’s was too forgiving to Harper I would have just went home and broke up with Harper for good! But another thing that bothered me was when Harper flirted with Conner but got mad when Abby was chilling and talking to Riley like girl!

      @Sammy.H.Redwood Рік тому +2

      As much I understand why people want Abby and Riley to be together, instead Abby being with Harper. What Harper been doing to Abby, was little selfish and unfair to Abby.
      But it because Harper isn’t ready to, come out to her parent yet. Because she afraid to lose them and disowned. Also didn’t wants to lost Abby either.
      But I just saw this that Riley just really understand what Abby going through, just really feel bad for her, because Riley went through the same pain as Abby.
      I really don’t know if there was any, loving chemistry between them. I just think that Riley just feel sorry and bad for Abby.
      Because they have something in common and have been in a similar situation, plus I don’t that Abby want to or should be with Riley. Just because Harper kinda making a situation little hard for Abby.
      Also Abby only knows Riley for a few days and hardly know anything, much about Riley to even start a relationship with her.
      Harper is her girlfriend and Riley just stranger she just met. It’s a little weird that a movie one of the main character and minor character, really had no plot to the movie to end up endgame.

    I liked that Abby forgave Harper in the end and didn't get together with Riley, after all she was talking about asking her to marry her and that she loved her so much she wanted to spend her life with her and she was her person. The way Harper acted was not great but I understand it came from a place of fear, and fear can make us act very differently. I also think in the movie they should have focused a bit more on their relationship before the trip and during the holidays they should have focused a bit more on Harper's perspective. I think they focused to much on Abby's side and didn't show Harper's dilemma and emotions enough. That made people less able to empathize with Harper and if they make a sequel they really need to work on that.

    The truth is that the entire Caldwell family (except for Jane) is just toxic, so the minute Harper gets into that toxic environment and having grown up in it, she starts acting like them to get their validation and aproval, sidelining Abby in the process which is shitty.
    I understand Harper, when hiding who you are becomes instinctual, and almost and act of self preservation.
    However, nothing validates treatting your significant other like Abby was treatted, not only by Harper but the entire familly as well, but at the end of the day, I understand this was a movie, situations are exagerated and time is short to properlly resolve conflicts (though that might say something about the wrighting of the film).
    I enjoyed the movie, loved the cast, Riley was amazing (Aubrey Plaza, I'm in love with her), Harper was problematic, but she came aroud at the end, plus is hard for me to dislike her because I'm just obssesed with Mackenzie Davis, and John, John was everything.
    I do think they have ground for a better, more lighthearted sequel.

    Me & my wife watched it the day it came out. Though we both would like a over all feel good lesbian movie, without struggles. I still feel like it was a good movie, and very relatable to those of us who have struggled with their families. I have a super religious family, and I related on how she felt scared and as though she had to be perfect in their eyes. It’s hard to think you may loose your whole family, especially your parents when you reveal who you truly are. I think people were hard on Harper, though there were a couple of incidents I agree could have been avoided, over all I think it came down to a VERY big fear...and when you’ve been raised in a family like that, and it’s been ingrained into your mind that things are just black & white...it’s hard to let go of that way of thinking. Not every persons story is as easy as some. And it’s usually people like Harper (and myself) who have families like that, that struggle the most, and deal with the most depression. Sometimes silently because we know people from both ends are judging us in some type of way. Sorry for the looong response lol but I think it’s commendable that Abby stuck by harpers side through it all. That shows true love, and when you love someone, you help them get through all obstacles in life. Especially one like this. My wife stuck it out through alllll the ups and downs with my family, and I’m so happy she did! 🥰🏳️‍🌈

      And the problem is not even the fact that Harper wasn't out to her family, because this is the reality for many LGBTQ people. It's just that she was selfish, she abandoned Riley and she was terrible towards Abbey. She wasn't too sympathetic of a character. She could have navigated this situation way better while staying closeted. Also, can we talk about how terrible it is that Harper's sister outed her? I don't think I could forgive my sister for doing something like that.

    I cannot tell what this movie did to strike such a cord in me. The cast certainly has something to do with it. Perhaps also it's because it portrays a lesbian couple and it isn't raunchy but really sweet.
    It also taught me something. That if I should one day have a daughter that discovers she is gay. I do not want her to be afraid at all to tell me and her mother. And I will live my life hoping to instill that confidence in her.

      We're not rooting for Abby to cheat. We want her to end things with Harper, and find happiness elsewhere. Yes, every story is different, but it's not cool to blindside your significant other and put them through hell.
      Also, would Harper have come out had Sloane not outed her? She kept saying she was going to do it after the holidays, but considering how more difficult it was getting for her to be out in the middle of her dad's campaign, I doubt it would have happened (just like it didn't happen during the summer where she lied to Abby about coming out to her family). I can empathize with Harper because it still takes courage to not continue lying/hiding, but that doesn't excuse her behavior.
      also, I don't know why the writers felt the need to make Harper's plea about how she'll spend the rest of her life making it up to Abby. That's not a healthy base for a relationship. You shouldn't make your relationship about owing your significant other something. There were so many red flags with this relationship it was kind of hard not to root against them (and this was something easily seen before they even arrived at Harper's home).

Movies are a form of escapism and even when they're not perfect I'd rather focus on what's good rather than everything that might be wrong with it. Often times when I see reviews of movies like this they're super critical and make me feel bad for enjoying them or point out flaws that I didn't notice that taint how I view my experience.

    I liked the movie. My favourite character was Abby. I felt so bad for her :( And I shipped Abby and Riley as well. They looked really well together. Harper was okay but she pissed me a lot :D even I get her - her fear of being herself but to be honest? She didn´t think of Abby she just thought of herself and that wasn ´t nice. And John´s speech about coming out - God so true.

      Lying about coming out and inviting Abby to her parents' home (who might have been homophobes) was such a big red flag for me, and that was within the first 20 minutes of this movie. If you're not ready to come out to your family, that's cool. Take your time, but don't make your significant other have to personally deal with it too.

    For me, the real bummer was not actually getting to see the proposal or them waking up Christmas morning together. The entire ending was a bit lackluster and maybe that's the point, that a samesex relationship can be just as mundane as a hetero one but I still felt there needed to be more closure like they focused too much on Harper messing things up and not enough time on her making up for it in a meaningful way and so the ending just felt rushed and not earned.
    As for the Riley or Harper debate, I'm torn. I'm a fan of both Mackenzie and Aubrey. I definitely think they should've made the apology from Harper to Riley a little more emotional and in a private situation, not right after an awkward scene. I was digging the friendship between Riley and Abby for sure but I didn't really see it as more than that. I think maybe Riley might've had a crush on Abby but I wasn't feeling the same vibes from Abby. They definitely let the ball slip with Aubrey, such an amazing actress and gave her such a shitty storyline. Could've at least given her more of a backstory rather than just the ex from high school who was treated badly and only appears in like 4 scenes .
    I wish this movie was more about it just being a silly Christmas romcom but alas it became more about the character's sexuality. As a whole, I'm not fond of the closeted/coming out story lines or the M/F to F/F storyline, they're all old hat at this point. I'm just waiting for a "Meet the Parents" but gay romcom.
    Hopefully they'll do a part 2 and it'll be a wedding romcom in which they'll actually show the proposal in a flashback and maybe this time we'll get to see some of Abby's exes lol.

    @o_huskywolfdean7 Рік тому +4

    I think what’s the problem with this movie is, that it was to cookie cutter and clean smooth story. Through the whole movie as it was hardly any conflicts, beside Harper and her oldest sister having a pickering sibling rivalry.
    That wasn’t really interesting to see as plus, mostly of the characters were somewhat too nice. Too likeable like Riley and John, John was someone annoying to me.
    He was somewhat judgemental, about Abby relationship with Harper. As never shown why, he felt like telling her that. Then he act like a matchmaker towards the ending, telling Abby that Harper was meant for each all of a sudden.
    I just mean I don’t like his or understand character, in the beginning of the movie he was being. A little unsure Abby relationship with Harper, to play cupid and bring them back together.
    I did not like Riley that much as she a little uninterested, she really doesn’t serve much purpose other than. Only been a small plot point about, of what kind of a person Harper is. And maybe giving Abby a small talk what, she should do with relationship with Harper.
    I think that Riley in my opinion, shouldn’t be in the story as she didn’t really need to be there. The writer could have given Jane that plot, and maybe Riley could appear in one scene and that it.
    The only I like and enjoy was Jane, rest of the counter was boring. Even Abby was playing boring and annoying, that Harper.

    If Riley had outed Harper in high school, and she had to convince her parents she wasn’t even though she was, it would she made more sense for the story. Harper would be more nervous about coming out to her family (because she knew what would happen from before) and Riley wouldn’t seem as perfect.

    Yes, harper act badly sometimes but who doesn't? We are all toxic at some point of our relationship. The movie revolves more on harper not coming out and more on her family, we actually did not see how they started, how abby fell inlove with her, we really did not see how they are as couple when they are just the two of them. Would you not forgive someone you love who hurt you just because she is too afraid of showing her true self to her family? You should be first person to understand her, you should be the first person to trust her own process of when she's ready to come out.
    We all do poor decisions in life, so stop commenting like you are perfect in a relationship like you never hurt someone at some point. Give harper a chance to make it up with abby.
    I'd be happy if riley will have someone also in the movie if there will be a sequel.
