ReportSynopsis
Brad and Kate have made something of an art form out of avoiding their families during the holidays, but this year their foolproof plan is about go bust -- big time. Stuck at the city airport after all departing flights are canceled, the couple is embarrassed to see their ruse exposed to the world by an overzealous television reporter. Now, Brad and Kate are left with precious little choice other than to swallow their pride and suffer the rounds.

Yes, but the movie follows the adult children of these parents. Most home visits in this movie accentuate some abusive or negligent features of each parent relating to their relationship with their adult children (e.g. Brad's father clearly struggles with alcohol dependence and raises his voice frequently, and his mother minimizes and ignores his feelings surrounding her relationship with his childhood best friend; Kate's family gathers and mocks her for her struggles with childhood obesity and for maintaining a friendship with a queer person in school).

It’s not exactly a “man in a dress joke”, but Kate’s childhood friend Jo is implied to be gay, and jokes about her appearance, including her short haircut, are made in connection with her sexuality

Not on purpose, but a baby's head is slammed on a door when Kate spins around while holding her.

A few characters struggle with alcohol dependence, but it is not a key feature of their depictions and unremarkable to the story.

Brad’s brothers restrain him several times when fighting. Kate is also held down by neighborhood kids in the bounce house scene.

There is no on-screen assault, but Kate mentions in conversation the sexual harassment she faced from a high-school friend.
