Girlfriends of Christmas Past

I wanted to watch a cheesy, predictable holiday movie but this one was a total snooze fest. Everything is so forgettable, it's bad in a completely non entertaining way. My Christmas gift to you is the gift of an hour and a half of your life back!

I'm not a fan of revenge themes in either comedy or romance. I sort of agree with the reviewer who said you need to look at this as comedy not romance, although there is a side of romance. Just don't take the movie too seriously. The trouble is that it's hard to reconcile the two given that it's not just comedy, but silly exaggerated comedy and then the romance has serious moments. So really you have to look at the two parts differently.

There are some funny, and mean revenge plots.

I am not opposed to campy Christmas nonsense but this movie misses the mark by a long shot. The premise of the movie is that three women who have never met before drop everything in their lives to conspire to break up the relationship of the man they all used to date because he cheated on them. The characters are poorly written idiots without any redeeming qualities. You want to try and grab onto something in this movie, but there isn't anything there. I won't lie there are laughs to be had because there are several layers of absurdity in this pile of garbage, but you don't feel good watching it. None of the people are likeable and there isn't anything fun about the revenge plot at the heart of the story. There are a ton of stupid fun Christmas movies out there that are far more enjoyable to watch than this one. Watch anything other than this. Really truly awful.

Cast was great, plot could've been awesome but was just kind of sad and embarrassing. End of movie revelations felt too fake and seemed like they were written by dudes. "Wow us ladies are just dumb and picking the wrong guys! I've learned my lesson and will stop doing that from now on." *eyeroll*

Three women scorned set out to get revenge on their ex. They perceived he cheated on them and want to ruin his current relationship and save his latest flame. Whether or not he cheated is a running theme of the movie. The movie goes for low laughs when it could have gone high. All in all not worth the space on the shelf. This one should have not gotten the green light.
