Christmas vs. The Walters

It's been a rocky 2 years and this film is just what I needed. Took my daughter yesterday in Tucson and really enjoyed it - so relatable and for moms we sometimes get the short end of the stick. In love this family, not nearly as much as my own but really loved it - it's really a fun one. Go see it.

I just watched this film and was thoroughly impressed. I went into it expecting a lifetime movie of the week. Instead, I found a character driven story about a woman juggling motherhood while wrestling her own insecurities. The movie had plenty of heart and left you with a feeling that only a Christmas movie can. The acting was strong, too, especially the girl who played the daughter.

The ratings are all over the place for this film maybe its a love hate type of thing -- I actually rented this on cable with my wife thinking its was a comedy, its not a comedy but it has some funny moments but the drama side caught me for surprise. My wife loved it and that was all I could ask for. I am a big Chris Elliott Fan -- love everything he does, it was a different role for him but it worked and the family grew on me as well. It isn't the fastest moving film out there and not too much of XMAS glitz but it has a really good message if you pay attention to it. I give it a great effort for trying to be its own thing and not pump out the same man + girl falling in love type story on Lifetime. It was something I could actually watch and tell people at work what I did. Dog was cute too.

Plus, all the accounts from which 9/10 or 10/10 reviews came from are all made exactly 7 months ago (for this movie specifically, I'm assuming) and that is their only review ever. Classic bots that are payed to boost up a movie so more people would watch it.

Don't even bother with this one, guys. Just... don't. You can tell all throughout the movie that actors did it only because of the money, not because they believe in project. They don't even believe in their characters even WHILE playing them!

There were some small efforts, so I'm giving it 3/10.

First of all, why was this even made. The script was bad, the direction was non existent and the actors really didn't want to be there. AVOID!

Also look at the user profiles for all the high rated reviews for this, all made about 3 weeks ago with one single review, this movie.
