Storyline
Rebecca, from an upper class Los Angeles family, and Henry, from choir-singing, tradition-bound Midwestern roots, are in love. Henry pops the question just before Christmas and the kids plan on gathering their families for the holidays in order to surprise them with the good news. The families collide-oops-meet the week of Hanukah just before Christmas in Madison, Wisconsin. It's a wild, whacky ride of good intentions and missteps as the two families try in vain to respect each others' traditions. It's not long before Rebecca and Henry learn the hardest part about being married might be dealing with each other's in-laws. Written by

If it's not one thing, it's your mother.
Who thought that a movie about mixed religious Christmas / Hanukkah would be be cute and funny.... well, it ain't...
With a very solid cast and very well made indeed for a TV movie this should be enjoyable but the embarrassment factor is squirmy rather than funny.
Honestly, some of these jokes are borderline offensive and not even in a funny way just huh, whatever type of way.
I get why this might have worked but we gave up after his parents put an orthodox rabbi figure up on the roof to compliment Santa, oh c'mon....
We just couldn't see what was so great about this and just gave it a miss....
