The movie is underrated and under appreciated at the time. It must have fallen through the cracks because I never heard about it, Steve Coogan and Paul Rudd play a long term bickering gay couple in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The movie also sells Santa Fe as the land of enchantment with plenty of scenery, sights and locations. The Christmas season is magical. Erasmus is a well known chef and Paul is his producer and partner. When Erasmus' grandson, Bill, arrives at one of their parties, they take him in reluctantly. Erasmus' son, Beau, is in jail. The actor who plays Bill is wonderful in the role. The cast is stellar. The movie has several fine moments. If you want to see Santa Fe onscreen, this film sells it well. It's more realistic and believable.
