Father Christmas Is Back

Amazing Comedy on Paper OMG what a cast, this gotta be great... wrong... it was overacted, even for britisch standards... the humor was as old as Liz Hurleys Wonderbra... Short and simple this is a bad movie and only a few people will appreciate it.

This film is funny in places, but in general it seems to try too hard to be funny. Some casting was great, some not so great. A film I will probably firget about but I wouldn't go as far as some that claim wasting their time.

We watched this. It was not uniformly terrible. There were some moments of levity. But it felt like a long series of comedy sketches in search of a punchline. There are moments of maudlin sincerity grafted into situations that have almost no connection to the emotional statement. The acting/characterization is completely two dimensional. The comedic actions arise because no one has ever thought to ask the next question. At least three of the families here are super rich to the point of owning estates and incredibly expensive cars, and yet they act like helpless children in the face of trivial adversities to the point that you begin to believe that the foolishness of the English elite of Downton Abbey is not a one-off but is part of being rich and English.

I absolutely adore Kelsey Grammar but this film is a complete bore!!! There is nothing cute or funny about it. The "sisters" are horrible! It is a must never watch again holiday film.

We tried, but could not stay with this Christmas lump of coal. Overdone in all aspects. Plus it used every retread of family disfunction ever in a movie. It went on and on, and overstuffed scenes like Santa stuffing his presents in his sack. Why would anybody fund this mess, and think it would be a success to annoy the viewing audience with such overacted garbage?

If you like Christmas movies, and comedies like many of us, do yourself a favor and pass this dog by. Ruff, Ruff.
