When I sat down to watch the 2024 movie "Christmas with the Singhs", I was under the impression that I was in for a Christmas movie. But it turns but that director Panta Mosleh delivered a comedy that was set against a Christmas backdrop. And while the movie certainly was watchable and enjoyable, it just wasn't exactly what I was expecting. But don't get me wrong, because the movie is not a bad movie.
Writers Patricia Isaac and Emily Ting put together a good and enjoyable script. Just don't expect to be in for a sappy Christmas movie, as I did, and you're good to go. "Christmas with the Singhs" is a feel-good kind of comedy that takes Western and Hindu culture and traditions and throw into a kettle and stir around for some funny moments and good laughs.
I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. And that is actually something I generally enjoy when I sit down and watch a movie. I will say that the acting performances in the movie were good.
This movie provided me with genuine entertainment, and it is a movie well-worth watching if you enjoy comedies with more than just jokes below the belt.
My rating of director Panta Mosleh's 2024 movie "Christmas with the Singhs" lands on a six out of ten stars.
