To paraphrase Tolstoy, All Happy Families are the same. It’s the unhappy ones that are the most interesting. Consider the Dickensons, a quirky somewhat dysfunctional family of four sisters in the midst of two of the most stressful events known to mankind: planning a wedding and getting through the holidays. Throw in a hockey obsessed boyfriend, a best friend whose own marriage is crumbling and a visit from Saint Nick, shake it like a snow globe and presto: Four Minutes if you Bleed, a comedy about hockey, weddings and the true meaning of Christmas.
