Christmas vs. The Walters

I saw this last night with my boyfriend. It was such an enjoyable date night, movie was funny yes but it had such a great message of family. I haven't seen my extended family in 2 years du to covid - can't wait to drive to Kansas City this holiday - must check it out in theaters or on demand when it comes out.

The ratings are all over the place for this film maybe its a love hate type of thing -- I actually rented this on cable with my wife thinking its was a comedy, its not a comedy but it has some funny moments but the drama side caught me for surprise. My wife loved it and that was all I could ask for. I am a big Chris Elliott Fan -- love everything he does, it was a different role for him but it worked and the family grew on me as well. It isn't the fastest moving film out there and not too much of XMAS glitz but it has a really good message if you pay attention to it. I give it a great effort for trying to be its own thing and not pump out the same man + girl falling in love type story on Lifetime. It was something I could actually watch and tell people at work what I did. Dog was cute too.

This movie was beyond horrendous. Any score above 4, if you click on the users names, its the only review they have ever done and a recently created account. Clearly trying to prop up the movie.

I wouldn't watch this again even if i was paid $100. I don't need $100 that badly to be put through this again.

First of all, why was this even made. The script was bad, the direction was non existent and the actors really didn't want to be there. AVOID!

Also look at the user profiles for all the high rated reviews for this, all made about 3 weeks ago with one single review, this movie.

I just watched this film and was thoroughly impressed. I went into it expecting a lifetime movie of the week. Instead, I found a character driven story about a woman juggling motherhood while wrestling her own insecurities. The movie had plenty of heart and left you with a feeling that only a Christmas movie can. The acting was strong, too, especially the girl who played the daughter.
