“If you are drowning in the whipped cream froth of traditional holiday fare and can’t find a movie that reflects your difficult feelings about the time of year, then Merry Good Enough is the best gift you could give yourself this season.”
— Michael Talbot-Haynes Film Threat
“This is an affectionate and warm-hearted tale rich in feeling and character; a moving tribute to connection, family, and the holiday spirit…We care about these people and it was a pleasure to spend time with a family crafted with such honesty.”
— Anthony Francis, The Movie Revue
“While the main premise is more than what most families will experience – hopefully! – the relationships between the families and those in their orbit will be very familiar. It is a refreshing watch for the season.”
— Nathaniel Muir AIPT
"The film feels real in a way that many audiences will find familiar — specifically, the imperfect familial relationships that belie the colorful surface perfection of the holiday tableau."
- Annette Hinkle, 27East
