though this film is more complicated than the now-standard holiday fare you could find on Hallmark or Netflix, "Happiest Season" is also charming, more intelligent than the average romantic comedy, and bolstered by an excellent lead performance
Review rate : B+by Josh Spiegel[Consequence of Sound ]
sweet and super funny holiday treat; It's successfully both traditional and modern, telling a story with very real characters, but it also never misses a moment to be laugh-out-loud funny
queer Christmas comedy is a festive treat; "Happiest Season" exists within well-worn framework but still feels fresh, a sprightly and substantial comedy that will be an immediate addition to the Christmas movie rotation for many
"Happiest Season" so captivating; Clea DuVall draws such engaging work from her cast, with tasty individual characterizations, but more importantly, a group dynamic that's both lively and believable
"Happiest Season" present with generosity, wit, love, and plenty of Christmas cheer; An ode to impossible expectations, pride, bravery and loyalty, "Happiest Season" wraps up everything you could want for Christmas in a neat, thoughtful little bow
"Happiest Season" is not a melodramatic pantomime of the whole coming-out-and-meeting-the-family at Christmas experience, but a grounded, realistic one, still sprinkled with holiday magic; It is the best of everything Christmas romcoms have to offer
"Happiest Season" is a cheesy, fun and heartfelt romantic comedy, with a sweetly genuine queer love story at the center of this holiday tale; A story of hope and love, which is exactly what audiences need right now
