Most Christmas movies are feel-good films with a cheesy moment or two. 'The Christmas House' is no different, but I must confess to really enjoying it.
The Mitchell family is about to transform their home for Christmas. (As we learn later in the movie, there is a reason why they decided to do it again after a few years.) The family consist of Bill (Treat Williams) and Phylis (Sharon Lawrence), and their sons Mike (Robert Buckley) and Brandon (Jonathan Bennett). Brandon is gay and married to Jake (Brad Harder), and they are in the process of adopting a child. Mike is an actor, whose show risks being cancelled. And then there's the family friend Andi (Ana Ayora), who is an estate agent, and Mike's subtle love interest.
We soon realize there are certain issues lurking underneath the façade of happiness, and that all might not be as well as it appears to be. I enjoyed the characters, and thought the casting was well done. 'A Christmas House' is a film about rekindled feelings, and the Christmas spirit! This was a nice watch.
