On Christmas Eve, Cliff, a down-on-his luck comedian who can't catch a break, chips a tooth, and suddenly finds himself in the late-night care of Didi, a sharp-witted, no-nonsense dentist. What should have been a quick fix unfolds into an unforgettable night of unexpected twists, comic mishaps, and a brewing heartfelt connection. Their holiday misadventures lead to the discovery that the best gifts aren't under the tree--they're the ones you never saw coming.

It is so sweet, so understated, and just a wonderful slice of life. Go to Full Review
Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025
Very funny. It reminded me of a 1990s Ed Burns movie. Go to Full Review
John Anderson Wall Street Journal Dec 5, 2025
The texture of the picture, as well as some camera moves straight out of the ’70s, makes this Jay Duplass-directed anti-rom-com into an instant retro-holiday chestnut, a double eggnog with a small-batch bourbon chaser. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Highly uneven and oddly weighted, this love letter to Baltimore arrives with diminishing returns. Go to Full Review
Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Feb 25, 2026
4.5/5
The connection that forms between them feels more real because it’s so unlikely. Duplass, co-writing with Strassner, has the skill to pull it off, and both lead actors are up to the task. Go to Full Review
Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest Jan 4, 2026
9/10
Unusual for a dentist to be featured in an off-beat rom-com, let alone that the dentist is a middle-aged woman. In Xmas Eve odyssey through Baltimore, she and her younger patient empathetically enter the other’s life. Go to Full Review
