Thoughts
We've not had the best run of Netflix movies recently, so took a deep breath going into this but thankfully, it was great! Love the characters, the relationships between the three and how they evolve and develop. Joey King was great as a selfish but relatable character who starts to thaw by the end. Also nice to see an older actress with a younger actor for a change, not that it had any reflection on the plot. The only annoyance was that Christmas popped up in the middle, and if I'd known that, I might have saved it for closer to December. But definitely worth a watch.
