Christmas Staycation

When it comes to Computer Screen Films, the one genre that rules them all and that's Horror. So I was surprised to see there's also a Chrismtas comedy out there that makes you actially LOL. Christmas Staycation is short, sweet, and gets you out of the pandemic funk if you're still in it. I really loved the 3 siblings and the original storylines they had to deal with. The Zoom Santa "My Dad is dead" scene made me lose my s***! Amd there's plenty more of funny scenes afterward. The one drawback is the visual quality isn't top notch, but again, it's a computer screen film, so just enjoy the ride! And there's a lot to enjoy!

This is not the Christmas Staycation on Amazon Prime. This is the original that came out in 2020 and has a much better story!!! Please don't confuse them. This one was filmed all over zoom and is about a family that physicallly can't be together. The one on Amazon Prime is a "A Dog For Christmas" (2015) that they renamed with this title. If you're going to review that movie, look up a "A Dog for Christmas" (2015). This movie, "Christmas Staycation" (2020) is not on Prime, but is on DVD and streaming on Hoopla and Vimeo.

Defintiey worth a quick watch! Very much surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. The storylines, characters, and acting are solid and the jokes are original and UPROARIOS!!! The entire movie is over Zoom, but you can tell the cast and crew had A LOT OF FUN making this! The movie derides it's own platform and this time our lives and the results are heartwarming and hilarious!

Don't confuse this with the movie on Amazon Prime. This movie actually has a story! Christmas Staycation (2021) on Amazon Prime is actually A Dog For Christmas (2015), they just took the same movie and gave it a new title this year. This Christmas Staycation is a zoom moive from 2020 with actually heart and story! You can buy this Christmas Staycation on DVD at Barnes and Nobles and stream on Vimeo and Hoopla. 2 completey different movies!

Not many good things came out of 2020, but this is one of those good things! This movie is destined to be a Christmas Cult Classic. It's modern, fitting, and hysterical for so many reasons. From the bad online dates to trying to satisfy your family when your family can't be together, there's so much this family can't get right. And we've all been there. The cast is incredibly talented and the Gloomgardy Family is a dysfunctional mess that you can't help but love. Yule have a good time with all these virtual Christmas antics.
