LOVE THE COOPERS Trailer, Clips, Images and Posters

Since Christmas usually starts in November, here is the first holiday movie of 2015. The comedy "Love the Coopers" is now in theaters and if you're not sure what to make of it, check out the official trailer, six clips, seven images and three posters after the jump.

Directed by Jessie Nelson ("I Am Sam"), the film follows the Coopers, four generations of extended family who collide during their annual Christmas Eve celebration. The cast features Diane Keaton, John Goodman, Ed Helms, Amanda Seyfried, Alan Arkin, Marisa Tomei, Olivia Wilde, Anthony Mackie, Timothée Chalamet, Jake Lacy and Alex Borstein.

Reviews for the film have been pretty harsh. While the cast is solid, the script doesn't help them much as "the characters speak not in dialogue but in self-help prose", as one critic remarks. The film apparently has an uneven tone and thin characters which crush the intended family-friendly message.
