A Clüsterfünke Christmas

I saw the creators of the show on Wendy this morning talking about it and it really caught my attention what they were saying because I have watched quite a few Christmas movies and do love them! I was really glad that I was able to take some time and see it this afternoon, twice. It started to replay for a third time on Comedy Central and I stopped it because I don't want to get burned out on it because I want to be able to enjoy it again without feeling like it's too soon. I did a lot of Christmas shopping last night so it was just perfect timing!

The casting is excellent! All the characters are so sweetly developed and relatable. I think it could be a new classic! I agree with the craters that it's just hard to imagine that somebody had not thought to do this before. For me it had the right amount of silly comedy and some good obviously great timing with the girls who did it because they are real professionals! A joy. I can't think of any Christmas show that I enjoy more than this one.

This does for Hallmark Christmas movies what Airplane! Did for Airport. The writing is smart, and the cast is perfect, hitting just the right notes between sincerity and satire as they spoof the cliches of the genre. Bonus points for some very funny double entendres - and for making fun of their own product placement.

Some people will watch this and they won't get it those people have never seen a hallmark Christmas film. I love hallmark movies for the awfulness they are so when I heard about this film I had to watch it. I loved how self aware the film is poking fun of hallmark from the ad placements, Canadian locations ( I'm Canadian who lives in Canada so it's even funnier to us), the over acting , plot devices. The film could of been maybe a little more silly but then maybe it would of been to stupid. All I know is I want to see more movies like this.

8/10 - absolutely hysterical spoof of your typical Hallmark Christmas movie fare features solid comedy writing, a sweet romance story, and fantastic performances (most of all Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's Vella Lovell)

I guess I'm just not silly enough to have embraced this show. Im not a Hallmark movie fan and was really looking for a parody of those movies; and granted there were pieces (small) that achieved that purpose. But the dialogue between the inn owners went on too long as did the montages. My fav scene was the "gay" guy ....! It didn't parody any Hallmark scene, but was funny. I think this show will appeal to an audience that revels in the new SNL or Dumb/Dumber movies.
