Nurse Monica Miller has been working hard, hoping a promotion is just around the corner. But it doesn’t come. Feeling disheartened, she visits her mom, who gives her some simple but powerful advice: go walk the Camino. So, she does.
Monica heads to Spain and meets Luis, who helps her with her shoes—and if that’s not love, I don’t know what is. Along the journey, they stay in homes of kind locals who welcome pilgrims. Luis is traveling with his son, Mateo, and his parents, which stirs up some tension—especially since all he really wants to do is talk to Monica. He even rides back on horseback to retrieve her devotional book. What a guy.
One night, they’re sitting by the fire and almost kiss, but they stop when the power goes out and they’re left in the glow of the flames—because of course that would be too romantic to actually follow through.
Now, something you should know about Luis: he avoids spending time with his son, Mateo, as much as possible. Mateo doesn’t seem to care—until one night when Luis misses family dinner because he lost track of time hanging out with Monica. That’s when things shift.
Monica starts to feel like she’s getting in the way of Luis and Mateo’s Camino experience, so she quietly slips away.
Later, Mateo turns to his dad and asks, “Do you love her?” And Luis is like, “Yeah.” So off they go to find her.
They arrive at what many consider the end of the Camino—but she’s not there. She kept walking. Monica makes it to the true end of the path and kneels to pray. Just then, Luis shows up, interrupts her prayer, and is like, “Hey, boo boo.”
They decide they want to walk through life together—and they kiss.

We meet The Balsano family. They are all getting together at the old family home. It's a huge family gathering, complete with dads talking about robots, baking, grandma, and kids playing video games. We see in the basement, there is a "for sale" sign that's kind of been put in a corner. They all rush outside to cheer as firetrucks speed down the streets, all decked out in Christmas lights. And, of course, Santa Claus. Afterwards, we find out that not only are the parents secretly selling the house, but it's already done.
They come back inside, eat dinner , and do Secret Santa. As the rest of the family sits down to watch old home videos, two of the teenage girls, Emily & Michelle, sneak out to hang out with their friends. As they speed down the back roads, we see some police officers going full speed gun mode on Christmas Eve. But they don't care. They don't do anything.
They meet up with some other teenagers. They all meet up at a diner and then go get some beers. One of the dumb boys ends up throwing one of the beers which lands on a windshield in the parking lot that shatters. The cops are called but they're too busy talking about their hypothetical feelings for one another to do anything about it.
The teenagers scatter and go to make-out point where they all just kind of pair off into the back of cars.
Emily grabs her bag of bagels and heads home as one of the family members falls asleep on the piano.

Vice Principal Jo is bustling around backstage at the school theater. She trips, and her glasses fall off. She looks up and thinks she sees a total hunk—but who can be sure?
She steps out from backstage, and we see the same chaotic scene from the first film, where all the moms bump into each other. Smile. Love Club. Group photo.
Fast forward six months: Jo is now dating the choir director, Karim, and she’s been promoted to Principal! But something’s off—she doesn’t seem quite happy.
So, she reaches out to the Love Club.
Jo confesses that Karim might be ready to take the relationship to the next level, but she’s just not sure she feels the same way. The next day, she sees that same hunk from six months ago... and realizes she knows him. It’s Ryan, and his son, Simon, is a student at the school. Turns out Simon’s been having some trouble.
Jo and Ryan get into an argument, and he storms off. That’s when it hits her—not only does she know him... he’s her ex-husband.
She tells the Love Club that she spontaneously married Ryan at 18, and it was a huge mistake.
Then Karim proposes via Yahtzee, and Jo tells him she needs time to think. The Love Club suspects Jo still has feelings for Ryan. So Tory drags her over to his house—where he’s washing car mats with his shirt off (of course). Sparks start to fly over the car... until a massive argument breaks out about who actually ended their marriage. Jo storms off and calls Karim. She says yes.
But just as she starts planning another wedding, she finds out... she’s still married to Ryan.
She confronts him and asks him to come to City Hall to finalize the annulment. But first, he takes her on a surprise detour—to their old high school. Cue the nostalgia. Cue the flying sparks.
Ultimately, Jo decides to break things off with Karim. But when she shows up to talk to Ryan—his baby mama is there.
Heartbroken, she decides to move forward with the annulment.
But then, Simon sees the papers and decides to play matchmaker. He traps both Jo and Ryan in detention, forcing them to talk things out and—yes—make out.
They celebrate at the school carnival, where Jo gets dunk tanked, and then they kiss in front of all the kids.

The movie begins with these kids sneaking into a carnival after hours and turning everything back on. The ride goes nuts and they're able to get away before the security guard catches them.
Cut to this rich dude speeding down a rural road. His name is Michael and he's driving to meet with a social worker at his sisters house. His sister & brother-in-law passed away and he thinks he's just going to sign some paper work. Turns out, he needs to watch his nephews until she finds a foster family for them. The kids are a lot. They live on this massive farm and just do whatever they want and Michael doesn't have time for this. He's got a big work presentation he is working on but the kids won't let him work.
These kids keep messing with Michael and he has no idea what to do, so it's a lot of that. Michael keeps having to go into town to take calls because he's worried his boss is going to give his big project to his rival, Dog Face Devin. And keeps bumping into the social worker.
Slowly, he begins to find his footing around the kids and they begin to understand each other a little more.
When the opportunity presents itself for the kids to go live elsewhere but they'd be split up, Michael opts to stick around.
There is this family in town that may be interested in adopting all the kids. Best part? They're rich. They get invited to come to their Christmas party and it's going great until the kids put a brick on the gas of a golf cart and it plows through a massive nativity set into the swimming pool.
There's another prospective foster mom but after meeting with her, it becomes clear she's just in it for the money.
Then Mike is hit with a big blow - his project is being taken from him and given to Dog Face Devin.
The kids mom taught ballet and the kids are pretty good themselves. One of the kids, Junior, even wrote a "Much Better Nutcracker". Mike, who suddenly has a lot of free time, tells the kids that they're going to put the show on!
They work hard to prepare for the event and they're all ready to go. Before the show, he's talking to Gretchen, the social worker. When she finds out that all of this is just to get attention on the kids to find them a foster family, she tells him that the kids are growing attached to him. He tells them that he loves them but there's no way he could take care of 4 pain in the butt kids. Unfortunately, one of the kids overhears this. Before he can fix things, he gets a call - his boss wants him back. He goes to tell the kids it's time to start the show but he discovers that they're gone. Michael goes on stage and tells the people that the show is cancelled. When everyone leaves, they see that the kids are doing the show outside at their parents memorial.
The show is a big success. During the performance, the oldest boy, Justice, stabs Mike with his prop sword as he feigns an injury. He finally comes to the realization that he loves his nephews. After the show, he promises he's not going to leave them.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH
Alex is reluctant to go to her sister's baby shower. She knows her family will just bombard her with the usual questions—why she isn’t married to her boyfriend, Finn, yet, and why he’s only working at a record store.
Meanwhile, Finn heads up to her room, strips down, and starts dancing to "Buttons," expecting Alex to walk in soon. But instead of Alex, her sister's kids walk in. Awkwardness ensues.
At the end of the night, Alex talks to her mom, with whom she has a great relationship. She even works for her mom's company. But then her mom drops a bombshell—she’s dying.
Cut to some time later: Alex is lying in bed alone. Her mom has passed.
She heads to the lawyer's office for the reading of the will. Expecting to see Old Man Sullivan, she’s surprised when a young lawyer named Brad walks in instead. And Brad only brings bad news. First, Alex and her family must keep the house for at least a year and can't sell anything inside it—not that she minds. But she’s shocked to learn that her mom made her sister-in-law the new CEO of the business. As for Alex, she won’t receive her inheritance right away. Instead, Brad hands her an envelope with instructions to open it when she’s alone.
Back home, she puts in the DVD from the envelope. Her mom appears on the screen, explaining that she wants Alex to live her best life, starting with completing her old "Life List." Every time she checks something off, she’ll receive another DVD from her mom. And when she finishes the list, she’ll get a final envelope. What’s inside? Who can say.
Determined to start fresh, Alex breaks up with Finn. She begins tackling the list—reading Moby-Dick, learning the piano—but it’s harder than she expected. So, she pivots, tries stand-up comedy, and earns her first DVD.
Meanwhile, Brad keeps showing up, being unexpectedly nice to her.
She’s starting to enjoy herself overall, but then she reconnects with her dad—only to learn he’s not actually her biological father. Her mom had an affair with a man named Johnny Alvarez. He is her real father.
She starts working at a school and meets a guy named Garrett. They start dating, and things are going great—until she throws a dinner party with her friends, and Garrett hates them. That’s… unfortunate.
After a long search, she finally tracks down Johnny. She takes a road trip with Brad and his girlfriend, Nina, to meet him. But Nina starts sensing something between Brad and Alex—and she’s right. Nina eventually heads home, and Alex and Brad end up sleeping together.
The next morning, Alex meets Johnny, and they agree to get breakfast the following day. But he never shows up.
On the way home, she and Brad get into a huge fight. He tells her she should break up with Garrett because "that guy sucks." She does. Then, in frustration, she tears up her list—after all, the only thing left is to "find true love."
But then Old Man Sullivan gives her the final DVD and envelope anyway, and it’s all very sweet.
Finally, she realizes—she does love Brad. She goes to find him. They kiss.
