Misadventures in the wilds
4 May 2023
Boring story with little coherence other than trying to bring Buck and Jessica back together in time for Christmas. Other than the deadline, and decorating one tree, there isn't much about Christmas. Most of the movie is a long string of mishaps keeping the couple apart. Literally one after another. The is some potential friction as Meg tries to woo Buck, but he is so clearly not having it while he spouts half-hearted praises of Jessica. There are brief snippets of side stories such as Roma and the dog Charlie, Jeanine stressing over her son's girlfriend Jessica and some kids trying to cut down one of the park's trees turning Jeanine into bad cop.

The acting is poor all around. Kaitlyn Leeb's Jessica is appealing as the girlfriend, but her chemistry with Victor Zinck Jr. Is minimal. Most of the dialogue is banal.
