Et encore un joyeux Noël!

I really did not know what to expect going into this film. To be honest, I was a bit sceptical. Like another reviewer on here, I was expecting another unoriginal 'time-looping movie'. However, this one was much more than that. At the heart of this film is the dialogue, the interaction and exchanges between the family members at the Christmas family gathering/dinner. The dialogue is funny, but I also found myself relating to the various family dynamics; I could immediately connect with the film, that is. It reminded me a little of other classic Christmas movies such as Christmas Vacation in this regard. One thing I liked about this film was that it shifted gears (emotionally speaking) later in the movie, touching upon serious issues such as marriage/relationship problems and cancer. Though this is also one of the shortcomings of the script, the writer doesn't develop these more serious storylines enough, I thought. That said, I went from laughing out loud to shedding a tear or two. The acting was strong, I thought. It took me about 20 minutes or so to get used to the dad (played by Leandro Hassum), but once I did, I thought he was brilliant. The supporting cast too had a good, strong performance. Again, at the heart of the humour in this one was the family dynamics, dialogue and interactions between the supporting cast. Overall, this is a very good comedy, a nice new edition to Netflix's 2020 Christmas season lineup/collection.

I was expecting another cliché time-looping movie. However, this title was much more than that. It is funny when it needs to be funny and heart-warming when it needs to be heart-warming. This might be one of the best Christmas movies of this decade and definitely one of the best Brazilian comedy movies of this century.

I can only imagine that the rapid fire dialog is even funnier when you understand everything that is being said. Even so (with subtitles that is), the movie and its humor is silly and light - well overall, of course there are some heavier things going on too. The plot is predictable and you will know where this is going too. Not just because of the year things or the christmas theme and what it can mean to anyone.

The lead role is quite a powerhouse role and something the actor has to really engage in. And he does so with quite a lot of gusto and a lot of energy. He really gives it his all. There are some bits that may seem mean and some themes that are a bit more mature than the average viewer probably is, but everything stays within certain limits (no nudity, no blood to speak of and so forth). Take it with a grain of salt and just roll with it - especially during Christmas time (and even more so if you are familiar with the ... family situations that ensue)

I was expecting this movie to be better because of its trailer, but i still enjoyed it and can see myself rewatching it every couple years. This movie is simply the plot of Groundhogs Day and Click, mashed into one, so its entertaining enough to watch unfold. The main character overacts at times but the rest of the cast does a great job of balancing things out. Overall it is definitely a heart warming, feel good Christmas movie with a couple of chuckle out loud moments.

Far exceeded my expectations. More original and touching. Plus the 'timeloop'-thing is unlike you have seen in other films.
