Review Quotes
- "Warm at times and lovingly lensed, Holidays has obvious affection for the Humboldt Park hood and its vibrant Hispanic heritage—there are joyous scenes of cooking, singing, dancing and neighbors parading through the streets. But the film needs a much fresher, stronger story, one worthy of its talented actors. Instead, it conjures ghosts of Christmas movies past, namely The Family Stone, which also interjected an uptight businesswoman—and illness—into a fam's celebrations."—Matt Stevens, E! OnlineE! Online: Nothing Like the Holidays (December 11, 2008)
