I'll Be Next Door for Christmas

I mean "sappy" in a good way, It makes you tear up a little. And it doesn't get sappy until the end, after a few hours of funniness. I think the filmmakers did a good job of making it something that literally the whole family can watch. There are jokes for kids, and jokes for adults that kids wouldn't get (not dirty or anything). Like a joke about Clark Gable that would make anyone over 40 laugh, but little kids would go "huh?"

Mainly, the cast is uniformly good throughout. A few unknown actors, and a lot of actors where you go "Oh, I've seen them before." It's nice to see them getting to shine.
