Best. Christmas. Ever!

So many bad reviews, but I think they miss the point. Christmas movies are SUPPOSED to be cheesy. And this one is. But it is cheesy in a creative, splendiferous way. You can't help but think of Hallmark movies when you watch it. But this was a Hallmark type movie with a little more depth and creativity. Is the acting the best I've ever seen? No. But it is also nowhere near the worst. I thought Brandi did a good job in most scenes. There were a couple of times it wasn't great, but I thought she made up for it in other scenes. We probably all have that family we think is "too perfect." I thought it was a great idea to play that up - even if it was far-fetched. Again, that's what Christmas movies SHOULD be. I loved it. And I will watch it again next year.

This movie sucks I've had to watch it with my family (no escape) but I had the worst time. You know it's bad when the kid actors are better actors than the main lead. The kids have a few funny lines and are the only good parts about the movie, because they're not insufferable. The main chick and the other adults have an awful dynamic with each other and they're not funny. The main character can't even deliver good dialogue or even act good, she just makes odd faces and poorly delivers lines. You can just tell she doesn't want to be there. And, they're all such uninteresting characters and it's terribly cringy and boring.

Don't waste your time with this turd. I get that we shouldn't expect a Scorsese style of production for a Christmas movie but at least make the characters somewhat believable. I agree with everyone saying that Brandy's acting was way off, although she felt like a real shallow person to me so that wasn't what bothered me. What bothered me was how lazily written out some of the plot points were... It felt like they were trying to make one of those traditional family movies but this movie had so many wtf moments and none of the charm, none of the spirit and none of the wit of those classic Christmas movies. Also, the suspension 9f disbelief this movie asks of you is just ridiculous even for a Christmas movie! Someone asked who this was made for and I can't help but ask the same question. If it was made for kids it was made by someone who has a very poor understanding of what kids find entertaining and if it was made for adults, they needed to try harder because none of their jokes landed except for maybe one or two. Avoid at all costs!

Pinche Netflix you got me good on this one. The plot is caca. I still do not understand why I actually watched the whole thing. I guess i so bad that you keep on watching waiting on something to happen. And it kinda does, but holly cow, I'm still trying to figure out what in the world I watched. Starts decently, I digged the set up of the story and the characters but, really? And truste me, Im a very easy customer when it comes to consuming entertainment, but this movie is ridiculous. Please Netflix: I need back my hour and twenty minutes I spent watching this movie, plus the time i spent looking for something to watch.

It's ironic that a movie with this title would get my lowest score ever! For a Christmas movie but that's exactly what this terrible, terrible movie deserves. We worry that artificial intelligence will ruin stories, but it seems as though this movie was written by clunky AI and directed by Monkey Bob (you'll know him if you watch the movie). So maybe it's a lesson for all of us that AI will never replace us. Or it's possible I'm projecting because no actual humans should have signed off on this stinker. The movie tried to be way too many things: is Santa real?; rich vs poor; can Brandy still sing? It's a big no for me.

This movie should not be rated PG!! Lots of sex references between the adults. Lots of French kissing between the adults and there is one scene where one of the couples is laying in bed, and there bed is rocking back and forth because the other couple is obviously having sex in the room next door and it's causing their bed to shake, then at breakfast the next morning the kids ask about the noises and the blaming it on moving furniture. It's really cringey and was uncomfortable to watch with my young 10 year old son. He kept covering his eyes and said this movie is inappropriate for children and shouldn't be rated PG!

I'd like to mention one decent thing about this film but unfortunately, i can't. Everything about this movie was terrible. The acting, the story, the directing, the continuity. Everything was awful. Nothing makes any sense. The amount of crying is ridiculous and it looks like the so called "tears" have been applied to the actors face, probably because the lack of all emotion was completely missing. The CGI was also particularly bad, something you'd expect from a high school kid that's "done his best". How and why Netflix commission this level of movie amazes me. This is absolutely atrocious. Don't waste your time.
