Slapstick comedy involving a free living, family shy couple being forced to visit all four of their divorced parents, and associated sociopathic siblings, during one nightmarish Christmas day. Moments of sniggeringly ribald wit, but it's all a bit hit and miss. Think 'Meet the Parents', but without the same clever level of humour. find out more...

Iris (who lives in England) and Amanda (who lives in America) are both unlucky in love but all that starts to change when they decide to swap homes in a holiday exchange.
