Christmas on Repeat

I found this to be very poor writing felt like they were trying to copy Groundhog Day And the family getting upset over silly little things cause it looks like they live very comfortable lives It should be very grateful for the things they have In another note, if anyone ever talks to your boss, like that, feel free to fire them, because in the real world that would never happen😉

But I do understand this is a cheap Christmas spirit movie, but I wish it had a little bit more spirit and more like a holiday movie It felt very flat unsatisfying Definitely no need for a sequel to this movie Thank u.

This movie is quite literally the definition of anti working women. The main woman, mother of two, works like an hour on christmas morning, and the spouse loses his mind. Sure, she kinda ignored her personal life a little, but it is made evident the spouse is not pulling his weight in his own work life, yet becomes upset when he falls behind. In a cheap and poorly scripted turn of events, the mom wished to do christmas over again, and of course that is how it works. However, it becomes scarily obvious the director does not feel comfortable with woman being the breadwinner in the household. She is made to be the villain by working and being successful.... a little outdated if you ask me. Do yourself a favor and don't watch this movie.

How many groundhog days movies have we had over the years, too many to count!! Making one Christmasy isn't going to make a difference!! Plus there is no chemistry between the married couple!! He was just pick for the wrong reasons!! You get more chemistry between her and the Matthew Lawrence lookalike!!

I went into this one thinking "oh no, not another watered down Hallmark/Lifetime schmaltz-fest for dorks! BUT! I was literally grabbed by the lapels and punched in the face with the solid gold brick that is Christmas on Repeat!! This is a professional review!! No everyday movie fan will ever start a review like that! Ten stars is what that one gave this film? Since Amazonia took over this site, the fakes have flocked from the woodworks!! Trust this real review I'm giving, avoid this stupid movie at all cost!!

Take Groundhog Day, subtract Bill Murray and most of the charm and comedy of the movie but sprinkle in Christmas and boom, it still doesn't quite describe what this is. I've been a fan of the leading actress since her days as a South Central Louisiana State University Mud Dog. It's a Christmas movie so it's not supposed to be Oscar worthy but parts of this were just low effort high cringe. For the life of me I'll never understand certain aspects of this movie (I'll just say basketball) but they really do tie it in a neat little bow by the end. Still can't stop thinking about how much she liked bad boys in college though...

There is not much in this world worse than the writing in this movie. The conversations are so ridiculous and inhuman that it feels uncanny in a scary way. Of course the acting is bad but that is typically expected for low-budget holiday TV films.

The mother in the film goes through however many days of faux-Groundhog Day and has zero character development and has a gift ideas list that is genuinely just one statement about each of her kids without actual gift anything - "Likes social media star... no, really* likes social media star". The entire climax of the movie became a 10-second conversation that could have been brought up by either party and neither of them had the communication skills to discuss (clearly the issue isn't just work).

The continuity mistakes are rampant - you can see the filmmakers in the reflection of the car. There is fake snow in one shot and then nothing in the next and they're supposed to be in the same areas. The kid is supposed to be a basketball star and can't dribble.

And the pushing of stereotypes is of course the worst - women just can't have a strong career or have a work-life balance tailored to her family without there being some kind of divorce talk in these movies, but of course men can grind away for 20 hour shifts.

I love watching trash Christmas movies but this one was particularly abhorrent!!
