Best. Christmas. Ever!

I'm sorry to put down a Christmas movie, but the acting and directing was almost 'laugh out loud' bad.

The story is quite cute, but the directing, script and acting just don't bring the best out of it at all. I was quite shocked by it really.

The actors don't display any authenticity, so it's hard to connect to them or empathise with them. Maybe they were struggling with a poor script and poor direction, because they have acted better in their other films. The plot being a bit too far fetched at times doesn't help either.

Shame on you Netflix for releasing this while jacking up our subscription costs by multiples of the inflation rate!

Pinche Netflix you got me good on this one. The plot is caca. I still do not understand why I actually watched the whole thing. I guess i so bad that you keep on watching waiting on something to happen. And it kinda does, but holly cow, I'm still trying to figure out what in the world I watched. Starts decently, I digged the set up of the story and the characters but, really? And truste me, Im a very easy customer when it comes to consuming entertainment, but this movie is ridiculous. Please Netflix: I need back my hour and twenty minutes I spent watching this movie, plus the time i spent looking for something to watch.

This is one of the worst movies I ever watched. The acting is horrible, the story line is horrible, Stay away from this one as its is a complete waste of time I cannot believe in this day of age that a movie can be this bad. There was no chemistry with any characters what so ever. I was really expecting something good with Jason Biggs but even his performance was lame. Im not sure I can complete this 600 charaters minimum as it doesn't take that many words to say that the movie sucked. 101 more charaters left to say avoid this movie at all costs it will be a waste of your time and life is too short.

Easily Netflix's most inexpensive film yet. You can tell just how many corners they cut in their edit to just give us a fluffy movie that tries to hard to be like Elf and falls flat on its face.

The little boy in the film was the most entertaining part, because the acting from the adults just didn't cut it. You would think Biggs and Graham, who were the 90s names of teenage comedies, would have some sort of chemistry but they did not.

Graham, who looks a lot like Michelle Pfeiffer and Madonna now, is reminiscent of Charlotte from Sex in the City here and perhaps Kristin Davis would have been a better choice to cast for her part. Norwood was okay, but as soon as she spoke, I just wanted Awkwafina for her part.

This was about a 2.5 or 3 out of 5 until the last 20 minutes. The film just got overly cheesy and defied too much logic.

Was this written by people? Was it AI? Did it start being written before the writers strike but had a deadline and got chatgpt to write it?

It just had no humanness to it. The plot is weird, the characters are weird, the script it weird.

I kept watching because it took so many turns I had no idea where it was going, it could have gone in a lot of good directions, but the ending was like a sugar dream that came out of nowhere. All the Christmas fantasy tropes in the last 5 minutes with no context.

I have no words to describe this film other than bizarre.

Listen to the reviews. Don't waste your time.
