Christmas Is Canceled

The plot synopsis states a 29 year old woman finds out her father is dating her high school "frenemy." I went into this movie prepared for the usual silliness and over the top acting Christmas romcoms are known for. I expected pettiness and catty arguments leading to a sickeningly sweet ending in which everyone gets what s/he wants.

What I got was a movie even more ridiculous than anticipated. The daughter, who is supposedly 29, acts like a 4 year old throughout the entire film. She even kicks over a Santa Claus, in her father's place of business at one point. I can't imagine that any woman approaching her 30s would act the way this character acts. It's just way too unbelievable. The whole movie was so bad that I felt embarrassed for the actors. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. It is terrible.

I don't mind a low-budget try-hard tacky Christmas film here and there. They make for nice background trashy entertainment. But when one normalises a coldly unempathic bereaved 58yr old seducing a 20something friend of his daughter, and his daughter is made out to be the one with the problem, its messages aren't exactly on a par with 'Its a Wonderful Life'.

The humour is of the cringey sarcastic reactions ilk, with ill-judged music to suggest things are supposed to be funny. The whole thing is such a jarring misfire I'm amazed anyone thought "yeah let's make this!"

People who spend their time complaining about Christmas movies are hysterically funny. Christmas movies are by there nature are fillers nothing more. Mindless fillers. Quit analyzing them for something other than that.

Hohoho, here's some christmas trash, I'm sure you wont enjoy unless you're some kind of chritmas whacko. This movie should come with a bottle of vodka, because you'll like the vodka more than the movie, and then the floor more than the movie after you've puked.

That was honestly the worst Christmas movie I've ever watched (and trust me, I have watched tons of them).

The so-called "moral of the story" is pathetic, as well as the ending.

This was frustrating to watch. I would not recommend this movie to anyone who has taste or moral values.

It's a shame I could not rate it with 0 star.
