Une belle fête de Noël

An E for effort. Felt like a low budget film to me. I just could not get into it. However, the message is a good one. Just a poor delivery.

My husband and I saw this advertised as a comedy on Hulu and nothing about it was funny, it was so boring. It was cheesy and the acting was terrible. The movie started fine and then the story got completely lost. None of it was realistic, and frankly I was just upset that it wasn't funny as we wanted a comedy. The characters are lame and not relatable at all. The family complains they're going to be broke for Christmas but they literally have a storefront on Rodeo Drive that they could sell. The whole movie seems like it's the story of a privileged family's tax write off. Would not recommend at all.

I love cheesy Christmas music movies but this isn't the good kind of bad. From huge plot holes, poor production, bad acting, to accents that made my skin crawl... this was a fail.

This movie advertises itself as a family friendly comedy with a Christmas vibe for the holidays. For a majority of the movie it seems that none of those words actually apply. Humor is not found easily in this film. I mean it when I say I didn't laugh during one scene. It also comes with some very cheesy and cliche lines. I found myself yellling at the screen on more than one occasion. None of the characters stand out and to be quite honest none are very likeable either. It's almost as if the studio that made this movie gathered all the world's cornballs in one place. Seriously an hour and a half I'll never get back of my life. Don't make the same mistake I did. Watch something else. I wish you could give zero stars.

When I sat down to watch "Christmas With the Anderssons" it was part of a Christmas movie marathon together the family. However, this movie turned out to be one of the least entertaining and it was quickly turned off again, because it was just absurdly inappropriate and ludicrous.

We managed to suffer maybe 20 minutes or so through the Christmas ordeal that is "Christmas With the Anderssons" before we threw the towel into the ring out of sheer boredom and lack of entertainment value from the result of director Michael Feifer.

The characters in the movie had the charisma and appeal of wet cardboard cut-out characters. They were essentially every bit as useless and pointless as the script and storyline turned out to be. And they were characters that you just didn't connect with on any level.

As for the jokes and situations in the movie, well they were every bit as rigid and mundane as the characters turned out to be.

Regarding the acting in "Christmas With the Anderssons", well I can't claim to remember a single of the people in the movie. And I believe it was not the acting talents themselves, but the fact that they had absolutely nothing to work with in terms of script, storyline and characters.

This is definitely not the stuff that Christmas classics are made of, and I have no intention to returning to this movie to finish it at any point in time. This movie just wasn't worth it in any possible way.
