The chemistry between the cast is amazing!! It really does feel like they are family and it is a pleasure to sit back and watch them interact. Having said that, the movie kind of dragged, especially the second half. There is very little in the way of drama/tension and the humor from the first two movies was also lacking. All in all not a bad way to spend two hours. I'm guessing that Debbie Morgan was busy filming "Our Kind of People" but it's nice that they were able to include her in the way they did. I thought she did a great job with her part.

It's safe to say, I just did not get this movie. But I preface this by saying this third in the trilogy is the first one I have watched. In doing some research, apparently in the first of the movies, the Liddle family is fairly dysfunctional and super annoying. In the second, they lose their maniacal tendencies but retain their penchant for stirring up chaos.

In "Baby", everyone is super chill, even Jacquie who apparently was a real control freak. She is pregnant with a very big round baby and is on the couch with her husband and hoping for a peaceful Christmas (for a change.) Her family descends, but they are nice and normal! They are are beautiful and handsome with great clothes. Jacquie's house is beautiful if a little sterile. This kids were happy and spirited but well-behaved. I was confused by who everyone was and who all those children belonged to. I got the 3 sisters. And I got that Jacquie was marrying a man with two kids. Where is their mother? Is she dead?

It didn't seem to have much of a plot. The second sister, Treena, played by Latonya Williams, who I have really liked in other productions, and her husband are about ready to adopt a baby boy. I think one of those kids may be theirs as well. The younger sister discovers she is pregnant and is struggling to tell her boyfriend. Meanwhile, he is struggling to propose to her. I think she has a child too. The best scene in the movie was when he was trying to propose while she almost throws up on him. Luckily he manages to propose to her before she tells him she is pregnant so we don't have to go into all that "He only wants to marry me because I'm pregnant" scenario.

There is no real focus to the movie. We are just plopped down in the middle of this rich, nice, beautiful family and we just soak all the perfection in. There are some blips: The kids trying to get a reclusive neighbor to come out of his house, The family matriarch is stuck in Utah by an avalanche (while on a ski trip-of course), and the adoption is falling through. But it's all unconnected. There is also a Christmas miracle at the end involving Jacquie's pregnancy and it is as much a miracle as a Virgin Birth would have been. So that was Christmassy. I think I am really interested in seeing the first and second in this trilogy, but probably not The Liddle Family Christmas Vacation, if there is one.

A little entertaining, although the storyline was not as good as the first two in this series. I also missed seeing Debbi Morgan actually with and interacting as the family matriarch. Video calls just weren't the same. I don't know if this will be the last movie, but please writers, liven up the script if this series is going to continue. There were some real blah-blah scenes.
