Plot Synopsis

Rebecca, from an upper class Jewish Los Angeles family, and Henry, from a choir-singing, tradition-bound Midwestern family, are in love. Henry pops the question just before Christmas and the newly engaged couple plan on gathering their families for the holidays in order to surprise them with the news. They all meet the week of Hanukkah just before Christmas in Wisconsin. Trouble ensues when the two families try in vain to respect each others' religious and cultural traditions. It's not long before Rebecca and Henry learn the hardest part about being married might be dealing with each other's in-laws.
