Meeting your girlfriend's family for the first time can be tough. Planning to propose at her family's annual Christmas dinner - until you realize that they don't even know she's gay - is even harder. When Abby (Kristen Stewart) learns that Harper (Mackenzie Davis) has kept their relationship a secret from her family, she begins to question the girlfriend she thought she knew. HAPPIEST SEASON is a holiday romantic comedy that hilariously captures the range of emotions tied to wanting your family's acceptance, being true to yourself, and trying not to ruin Christmas.
This was a very good movie, it highlighted the struggles of a woman who was in a lesbian relationship, but had never come out to her family, she nearly lost the love of her life because she was scared to tell them, and I must admit I felt really sorry for her girlfriend who had to put up with some really awful things because of it, but I was happy they got there in the end.
As someone who is an ally of the LGBTQ community, I was incredibly grateful that Clea DuVall directed a LGBTQ film based around Christmas. However, I would have been happier if Harper and Riley ended up in a relationship, or if they had looked at the beginning of the relationship. Overall, it could have been improved. Best scene is any with Dan Levy!!!
