EXmas

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.

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.

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.

Nobody is likeable. Everyone is "cute" and also a horrible person. Parents that treat their son like he is the least important person in the world. Super annoying passive aggressive mother, dummy clueless father and the ex fiancé that's entitled and won't return the engagement ring.

Other than that it was a cheap semi- innocent move. I am confused about who the target audience is. There was a mention of tingling balls and threesomes so not really a family friendly movie.

It's a very cheap and simple movie, which would be ok if it wasn't for pushing of some annoying messages (like not believing in covid) and bad characters.

In the world of Christmas rom-coms, 'EXMas' attempts to deck the halls but ends up tangling the lights. The film's premise - Graham (played with a surprising lack of charisma) surprises his family for Christmas, only to find his ex-fiancée cozily ensconced with them - could have been a recipe for festive fun. Instead, it's more like overcooked turkey: dry and hard to swallow. The script lumbers from one contrived situation to another, leaning heavily on tired tropes and a telegraphed plot that could have been written by a festive fortune cookie.

The acting is as artificial as a plastic Christmas tree. Graham's family, intended to provide comic relief, instead deliver lines with the enthusiasm of someone reading a microwave manual. And the ex-fiancée? She's as warmly engaging as a snowman in a blizzard. The chemistry between the leads is non-existent, making their inevitable reconciliation as believable as Santa fitting down a modern chimney. The film's attempt at humor relies heavily on awkward dinner table jokes that make you cringe rather than chuckle, and the forced sentimentality is as subtle as a flashing neon reindeer.

Yes, the snowy scenes are picturesque, and the Christmas decorations are on point, but they can't mask the movie's fundamental flaws. 'EXMas' is like that gaudy, over-the-top Christmas sweater: it might catch your eye, but you wouldn't want to be seen with it for too long. In short, this film is the cinematic equivalent of finding coal in your stocking - a disappointment you didn't really want but somehow saw coming.
