Christmas Staycation

Not many good things came out of 2020, but this is one of those good things! This movie is destined to be a Christmas Cult Classic. It's modern, fitting, and hysterical for so many reasons. From the bad online dates to trying to satisfy your family when your family can't be together, there's so much this family can't get right. And we've all been there. The cast is incredibly talented and the Gloomgardy Family is a dysfunctional mess that you can't help but love. Yule have a good time with all these virtual Christmas antics.

People are getting this confused with the movie of the same title on Amazon Prime. This is NOT THAT MOVIE! That movie came out in 2015 with a different name, this one came out on 2020 and has to do with the pandemic, but in a Very Funny way!!! It's actually the best Computer Screen Film I've every seen! You wouldn't think a comedy on Zoom could work, but with all the family storylines and like 10 jokes every minute, this Christmas Staycation is very well done!

Don't confuse this with the movie on Amazon Prime. This movie actually has a story! Christmas Staycation (2021) on Amazon Prime is actually A Dog For Christmas (2015), they just took the same movie and gave it a new title this year. This Christmas Staycation is a zoom moive from 2020 with actually heart and story! You can buy this Christmas Staycation on DVD at Barnes and Nobles and stream on Vimeo and Hoopla. 2 completey different movies!

Defintiey worth a quick watch! Very much surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. The storylines, characters, and acting are solid and the jokes are original and UPROARIOS!!! The entire movie is over Zoom, but you can tell the cast and crew had A LOT OF FUN making this! The movie derides it's own platform and this time our lives and the results are heartwarming and hilarious!

For a film all shot on Zoom, this was wonderful! Instead of ignoring the pandemic like most holiday movies this season, Christmas Staycation embraces this very strange year and makes it hilarious! From the Zoom-A-Santa scenes to the epic "Gloomgarty Christmas Party" with "28 virtual rooms," this is a laugh riot with a lot of heart and some very sweet moments. The acting is very well done and the jokes are almost non-stop once the story gets going. My favorite scenes were Charlotte's zoom job interviews, every scene with Fiona, and of course, Cousin Skeexo stole the show! I don't know if Boston Market sponsored this, but they certainly should with all those Boston Market jokes. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this! Hands down, this is the Christmas film of 2020! It's incredibly relatable, hysterical, and endearing.
