EXmas

Pretty good Christmas comedy romance, not your typical schmaltzy fodder, made me laugh on a number of occasions. All the actors were great and the comedy never felt forced, good chemistry all round with all the family, if you want something different from the usual Christmas movie crowd give this a go.

There are some adult themes but nothing to outrageous. I was impressed with Robbie Amel and Leighton Messter they worked well together and while the premise was obviously farfetched they made it work. All in all one of the better Christmas movies do far this year, I would definitely rewatch it again next year.

I wanted to like this, cause it kept coming up on Freevee to watch but no one in this thing is even remotely likeable. I hated them all. They are just all yucky people.

What kind of family likes their son's ex who left him better than him? And why would they treat him so badly and her so good?

The attraction between the leads was not there. They were so awful to each other and just in general that it made no sense for them to want to get together.

I guess it was ok for what it was, but maybe I just prefer older movies that are actually good. But this one is not good, not even sort of good. It's just not.

For real though, this movie was way more fun than it had any right to be. The humore was spot on in so many places, and all the actors and actresses embodied and delivered their roles so well, while being relatively under-the-radar stars.

I loved how we had some genuine moments of emotion and vulnerability, which you dont always see in a christmas movie, as well as it being a somewhat novel concept, especially for me.

It was pretty goofy, and lighthearted, with almost no profanity or raunchy content, which i so appreciated. I'd definitely have a some cpuples friends over and watch this again for some good laughs.

Some reviewers bashed the movie due to unbelievable circumstances, but that's exactly what makes it funny. I was hesitant to give it a go due to the low ratings but am so glad I did. The writing was alright and l the acting pretty good. Some of the ad lib was hilarious, I love watching moments when comedians light up and other actors lose it. This is not an award winning flick, but several moments cracked me up. I especially liked that there were actually some twists in typical romantic comedy scenes which made it more enjoyable. What really matters most to me is that I felt better after watching it.

If you want to watch a fun light Christmas movie this is a good film to watch. It may not have be groundbreaking or any type of holiday masterpiece but it was funny and made me think about getting ready for family Christmas. I found the main characters mother and family's to be very funny. I highly recommend this movie to get into Christmas spirit along with remembering what dating was like around the holidays. Especially the ex, the girl that got away! The small town feel and winter of Wisconsin added to the Christmas atmosphere. It was much like a decent Hallmark Christmas movie with more comedy. I may have to add this to my yearly Christmas movies.
