Discuss Happiest Season

Her last name in the film is actually Bennett, not Johnson. It appears incorrect in her IMDb credits. I recall one of the Harper’s parents stating that the Bennett’s (in reference to Riley and her parents) are coming to the annual Christmas party. Unless this is discussed in a possible sequel that she has a alternate name than her parents I.e. got married or otherwise. The credits do show a pic of Abby and Harper along with her parents, Riley and director, Clea DuVall who is credited with a cameo (for that end credit picture). So unless they explicitly say, or otherwise refer that Riley took that character(Clea’s character)’s last name... all signs point to her last name actually being Bennett. Can someone confirm where her name was referred to as Johnson in the film?

I took the name Johnson from the official end credits in my copy of the movie:

Yes, that's true - at 22:38 min in my copy.

Yes, I noticed that pic, too - at 1:38:09 min in my copy. But I can't find the credit for Clea DuVall's cameo for the end picture -> she's not credited in my copy (which is why I didn't add her to the cast list). Weird... scream

Hm, not according to my copy of the movie. Can you perhaps provide me with a screenshot of the credit list from your copy in which Aubrey Plaza's and Clea DuVall's character names appear? I mean, it wouldn't be the first time that someone secretly fixed official credits for later releases - so this might explain the differences that you describe here. I'm certainly not against changing her name and adding Clea DuVall if you can provide me with proof from your copy. thumbsup_tone5
