the inexhaustible indie filmmaker might not have struck gold twice in a row, but the silver linings of "Happy Christmas" are largely engaging, truthful and affecting
it may be a tiny thing, but to borrow a phrase from Preston Sturges, the film is a little bit of "Christmas in July"
Review rate : B+by Michael Sragow[Orange County Register ]
