If you loved The Worst Christmas of My Life, try When Mom Is Away

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Alessandro Genovesi, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Worst Christmas of My Life, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What When Mom Is Away is

A mother’s vacation turns her family into a sitcom without a laugh track. The dad inherits the house, the kids, and a crash course in domestic incompetence. The film is as chaotic as the kitchen it leaves behind.
