A Merry Little Ex-Mas

I love these kind of movies but this was.... Odd. The kids are oblivious to their mom's feelings, the mom is controlling but also loses it a lot, the dad says pretty much the most hurtful thing you can say to an ex-wife. I wanted to like this for Alicia Silverstone but the story was uncomfortable. Maybe watch it once?

Alicia Silverstone is completely unlikable in this. Normally she's cute and quirky and fun but in this movie she's naggy and whiny and miserable. I would divorce her too. And the daughter's boyfriend is over the top weird. I love Harry Potter, but this guy is just... no. The best part about this whole movie are all of the side characters. The grandpas are adorable, Melissa Joan Hart is a good friend and keeps it real as do the people who run cafe. I get trying to have an amicable Christmas with your ex, but this is just stressful to watch and I still have 46 minutes to go. I'm sure it's going to end in some sappy way, but So far this has been the longest 45 minutes of a movie I've ever watched.

I like all the stupid plus the 90s actors. All the cringe and discomfort your looking for in a Christmas film. Adorably embraces all of the Christmas movie clichés. If you are looking for deep and profound, turn around and walk away briskly. If you want some cheesiness with a twist, enjoy the goofiness.

Totally cheesy,clichéd,not unique or even original.

If you're looking for a predictable movie with a holiday theme.. Watch it!

Actors to acting was ok,cinematography decent & music fine.

Provided a few laughs,well.. as mentioned,cheesy.

Why does holiday movies need to be about a couple/family in crisis & things that bothered them,for months or years gets resolved.

Seen a few people feel this movie was propaganda,due to mentioning about being"earth friendly"perhaps but wasn't bothersome to the story.

Not something will rewatch,again.

Still got plenty of characters to go,sometimes a review doesn't need a novel written.. Phew! Reached the minimum required. Happy Holidays!

I adore seeing Christmas films and feeling hyped for the new year. This one's on every brits radar currently, and first thoughts would stem from average to perfectly mediocre experience, it fulls Inbetween them both. Nothing outstanding happens and the characters can be slightly unlikeable at times with the constant back and forth.

The Harry Potter guy seemed sweet and funny, but outside of that theirs really Nothing else. Even the main cast have little depth aside from a divorce and just getting new partners, it lacks any real depth. The couples even feel awkward trying to gain advantage of one another without really doing much on their own. It's played out for laughs, but it's just annoying and irritating to watch.

The couples look like they bearly know each other and it's just really bizarre. But the uncles are it's saving grace as they seemed fun to be around, and they have some better one-liners. Although that's not saying much, they still seem like they are happily together and their dynamic feels very fresh, due to their relentless back and forth tones that suit this movie nicely.

It's paced nicely, some scenes are fun to see and the characters all feel naturally written which is what I like, more natural here then in most scenes so as far as realism goes it feels very real. It doesn't seem so real as christmassy though, just seems like a plot-device to give the story some narrative and closure.

I think that because honestly theirs not much, mostly snow. But regardless it's a mindless, and entertaining flick without any real development or any drastic change in tempo from mediocre to good.
