The Montgomerys--parents Charles and Judith and their three children: 15-year-old Alexander, 14-year-old Jennifer, and 8-year-old Emily--are spending Christmas at a new, isolated, state-of-the-art mountain cabin built by Charles' development company in upstate New York. Outwardly Charles built it so that they can spend time there to reconnect as a family, but they all know that he really built it to support the business. As a family they've long been unhappy; workaholic Charles is always concerned the company is close to folding, especially if he doesn't keep an eye on matters, while Judith feels like he treats their entire family as second priority to the work and the associated money and material wealth. They reach the cabin just before a major snowstorm hits the area. They receive a surprise knock on their door from the Tuckers--parents Joe and Amy and their children, 15-year-old Robbie and 14-year-old Lucie--whose van ran off the road on their way to a ski trip; they need shelter until the storm blows over. Unlike the Montgomerys, the Tuckers are a loving, happy, supportive family unit. The Montgomerys and Tuckers bond during their confined time together, but the Tuckers' presence might not be enough to show the Montgomerys what they must to avert the breakup of their family.

| User ReviewWarren WWhat a perfect movie on every level. Very touching. FANTASTIC |
| User ReviewMike CA family with major issues learns love for one another as demonstrated by a family who are stranded in the snow following a motor vehicle accident. There are no clues as to who this mysterious, loving family unit are until the very end of the movie, and it is a goosebump moment. This is not a sappy, feel-good film, but it is good viewing and lessons can be learned from it - if the viewer is willing to accept them. |
| User ReviewJake PThe Tuckers (the family who is stranded and winds up seeking shelter at the cabin) seem to be too good to be true, but this is a Christmas movie after all. I didn't see the point of the shock at the end. |
