Defintiey worth a quick watch! Very much surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. The storylines, characters, and acting are solid and the jokes are original and UPROARIOS!!! The entire movie is over Zoom, but you can tell the cast and crew had A LOT OF FUN making this! The movie derides it's own platform and this time our lives and the results are heartwarming and hilarious!
People are getting this confused with the movie of the same title on Amazon Prime. This is NOT THAT MOVIE! That movie came out in 2015 with a different name, this one came out on 2020 and has to do with the pandemic, but in a Very Funny way!!! It's actually the best Computer Screen Film I've every seen! You wouldn't think a comedy on Zoom could work, but with all the family storylines and like 10 jokes every minute, this Christmas Staycation is very well done!
This is not the Christmas Staycation on Amazon Prime. This is the original that came out in 2020 and has a much better story!!! Please don't confuse them. This one was filmed all over zoom and is about a family that physicallly can't be together. The one on Amazon Prime is a "A Dog For Christmas" (2015) that they renamed with this title. If you're going to review that movie, look up a "A Dog for Christmas" (2015). This movie, "Christmas Staycation"
(2020) is not on Prime, but is on DVD and streaming on Hoopla and Vimeo.
For a film all shot on Zoom, this was wonderful! Instead of ignoring the pandemic like most holiday movies this season, Christmas Staycation embraces this very strange year and makes it hilarious! From the Zoom-A-Santa scenes to the epic "Gloomgarty Christmas Party" with "28 virtual rooms," this is a laugh riot with a lot of heart and some very sweet moments. The acting is very well done and the jokes are almost non-stop once the story gets going. My favorite scenes were Charlotte's zoom job interviews, every scene with Fiona, and of course, Cousin Skeexo stole the show! I don't know if Boston Market sponsored this, but they certainly should with all those Boston Market jokes. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this! Hands down, this is the Christmas film of 2020! It's incredibly relatable, hysterical, and endearing.
This Chrismtas Staycation film is a comedic computer screen film made on Zoom in December 2020! It takes place during the pandemic and has a great story. There's ANOTHER Christmas Staycation that came out this year that is NOT THIS! That is another movie that came out in 2015 and took this title for 2021. If you're looking for the original Christmas Staycation, this one is it! And it's worth the watch!!! Super original and filled with hard laughs and heart!
