The Fight Before Christmas

5/10

Downer atmosphere

The premise of breaking up a relationship between dad and a free-wheeling woman has been done a few times, but I don't remember ever doing it where that woman is the daughter's high school classmate and neighbor. I found that aspect to be taking it a little too far. It was hard to root for Brandy.

This story had some good moments, especially if you like a revenge trope, and there were great possibilities. There were also some cringeworthy moments. It seemed like there wasn't anything upbeat in the whole movie except maybe the inevitable outcome.

Emma, the daughter, definitely shows a very unlikeable side, even mean. While I didn't like this aspect of her personality, I identified with her feelings was behind her in principle, to a point. She had very mean moments. Brandy becomes a sympathetic character.

Usually in a movie with this kind of premise, the guy that the daughter picks as an ally turns into her romantic interest. Yet Hayley Orrantia and Michael Naizu had very little screentime together. There was no valid explanation for the relationship they develop.

I'm pretty sure this is not a Hallmark movie. It gets pretty crass at times, including the language and there is some heavy petting with minimal clothing.

Horrible, Delightfully Fun, and Absolutely Insane

Loved this. It was bonkers. Nothing made sense: not the plot, the character arcs, the conflicts, the romances, the dialogue, the settings, the editing, the music, the ending, or... well, anything.

You know that feeling you get when you stare at a strobe light too long? Sick, disoriented, and kinda woozy? Turn that feeling into a feature length Christmas film and you've got "Christmas is Canceled"

10/10 Highly recommended A+

(Plus the guy's a great photographer apparently, so that's cool.)

Frustrating

There is nothing alright with the whole scenario. I would hate my father if he ever dated a friend from high school. It is frustrating. Hopefully this movie does not influence other older men to treat their daughters this way. Not the new normal!

Terrible misjudged trash

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!"

Christmas trash

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.

Movie was funny

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.

Horrible movie

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.

Funny movie

Watched this movie with my wife and we both enjoyed the silliness and heartfelt moments in this. Not your typical Christmas movie, and not exactly one to watch with young kids, however it is a fun one to watch.

Straight Cheddar, but enjoyable

Very cheesy. Very predictable. But, and all around decent movie. A couple really funny moments, a couple ehhh moments. This is the perfect mid-day mess around on your phone X-mas movie. It's very easy to follow and doesn't take itself too seriously. Like an Adult Disney Made-4-TV movie. It has cursing, a couple streamy/suggestive moments. But not hard to watch with family. It says it's Rated-R but it's definitely PG-13 realistically.

Equal parts lazy and creepy.

Absolutely nothing made me warm to any character in this film and the acting was flat. The story was lazily written and the premise was creepy. It MAY have gotten better in the end but I couldn't make it that far. Sucks because I love Hayley and. Janel but they both seemed to be relying on their past characters from other shows to get through this.

All around gross

This is a glammed up Jerry Springer white trash redneck fairytale. Only positive is the meathead bartender. Does Dermot need money that badly? Who greenlit this garbage?

Elektra is back!... minus the morbidity.

I've never seen such a modern enactment of a true Elektra as "Christmas is Cancelled." To think, after thousands of dramatizations over the millennia, nothing comes close to Emma's iron grip on her daddy, played by none other than Dermot Mulroney. But this version of Elektra has a welcome, modern twist: It had me laughing all the way.

I have been aware of the myth of Elektra for most of my life, but never considered it in any depth. But Hayley Orrantia portrays such a wicked, selfish, manipulative spoiled child, all grown up and looking forward to wreaking havoc on those closest to her, all in painstaking detail.

And then, there's Dermot Mulroney. I've recently watched several rom-coms from the late 2000s and early 2010s, including a few in which he starred. I was so happy that his movie career fizzled out back then. Clearly, Hollywood tried to make him a star with longevity and greatness; his acting talents never rose to the occasion. More than a decade later, we have a more mature, middle-aged Mulroney with a more tempered, toned-down ego, no longer commanding leading man roles in big movie releases... and he performs very well.

In summ, the two leading actors execute their roles perfectly. Supporting cast & production also perform admirably.

Best of all, whereas the ancients had this sort of tale ending in over-the-top morbid tragedy, "Christmas is Cancelled" made me laugh quite a bit.

Recommended!

Horrible

I can honestly say that I've never seen a worse Christmas movie. The main character is a total a-hole but the only voice of reason, it portrays all guys as horny jerks and the father is literally the worst father ever (let's his 25 year younger girl friend treat his daughter like absolute trash). People say that it's funny but it's just way too forced and makes the characters unrelatable.

Predictable, but still much funnier and better than I expected

Predictable, but still much funnier and better than I expected. The characters were good and the movie was sweet. It is no Picasso, but it was 90 minutes of fun. Okay.

Ridiculous

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.

Hilarious.................................

This Christmas movie is on another level. Haven't seen any other Christmas movie with this kind of story. Its hilarious, a lot of awkward kind of funny moments. The theme is adult so not for kids.

Entertaining Christmas RomCom

I really don't understand the animosity from most of the other reviews, did they see the same movie?? I thought it mixed a little bit of everything that an audience might like in a rom com. And not to give anything away, but if I were in the daughter character's shoes I think I would feel similarly. It had laughs, drama, heart, and personal growth so what more do these people want? Basically, if you are looking to kill some time during the holidays with a decent Christmas movie then this will do. The acting and storyline was way less fake than a Hallmark which was a big relief. I've seen many, many Christmas/holiday films and this one wasn't bad at all. Judge for yourself!

World's most unlikable lead

Story wasn't terrible but the lead actress had such a truly horrible personality that it ruined the rest of the movie. She was like photocopy of Zooey Deschanel: none of the adorableness or charm. Rest of the characters were the just right of attractive cheesiness that I love in holiday movies.

Only pervert males would enjoy this

Literally a male in his elderly years with his silver hair dating a young woman his daughters age. Ofc his daughter doesn't agree with it and tries to break them up. Not worth anybody's time.

Terrible

I should have known it was going to be bad the second it began and that horrible song started playing. What a waste of time and money making trash like this. How desperate was dermot for a paycheck shame.

Well played

Loved actors job, since they had to make credible the plot which seemed a bit forced in some parts... Dialogues are sometimes funny sometimes less.

And the question is with "who" Emma's mom betrayed Jack? Am I stubborn or what?
