    Uhhh what???

    Super cringe from the start.

    I felt they switched the genre of the movie, through out the movie.

    Is it a comedy, a drama, a kids movie? They had the key players, great props and Christmas spirit but had a horrible story line.

    I watched this as some background white noise while I made dinner and that's all this movie is good for. That movie with Lindsey Lohan was better than this one. They need to spend more money on better writing.

    I would suggest for Netflix to do some research on what people really want to see rather then spending all this money on a grotesque, want to be Hallmark Christmas movie.

    Cute/Cheesy but won't watch again

    This is certainly not as horrible as so many people are making it out to be. Like a lot have said, Christmas movies are supposed to be cheesy. The kids are cute. The story really isn't bad. It is cute. People are saying that it's confusing. There's nothing confusing about it. People are saying the plot is all over the place it really isn't. One thing I do agree on is the acting is a bit wooden they all could've done so much better. Who knows what the heck was going on during the filming you never know. As I said in my heading, I certainly won't watch this again, but it was cute enough. No big deal I'm not going to cry/& moan and groan about getting my time back. I've always had a crush on Heather Graham, And always liked Brandy, and I've always liked Jason Biggs, & the actor that played Brandy's characters husband I remember him from zombie nation. He was great in that , but they really all could've done better! Now., onto the new season of the Crown!!

    You have to see it to believe it - but don't.

    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.

    Yuck

    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.

    This movie makes John Cena's " The Marine" look good.

    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.
