Natale all'improvviso

A festive movie about family, about values, about love and everything else. With a little twist at the end if you want to call it that. Other than that it is pretty much by the numbers (predictable that is). But it's a fun movie to watch and it's lovely to see another story about family interactions.

If you like that kind of stuff that is. But it's light (drama included of course) and it's fun overall. The acting talent at hand is amazing and it's clear they're having a blast. I guess watching it around Christmas time makes the most sense, but you could also watch it anytime else and still have that good feeling

You know that movie you watch unpretentiously, but it surpasses your expectations by a large margin? Interestingly in this film, although having young characters, it does not even mention social networking; I only remember a part where a "text" is mentioned. Could this movie been written some time ago and was produced and filmed only last year? Anyway, I think the lack of social networks in the film emphasizes what we are losing in a fast pace: real face to face contact rather than contact through machines, touching a human being rather than touching keys, facial expressions and body language rather than emoticons…: warmth between people.

Unsure for the negative reviews, this movie is a moment of reflection and the sad realisation that life moves fast and it won't be appreciated until it's too late.

Yes, it's about a dysfunctional family and equally dysfunctional characters and no, granted there isn't jiggle bells at every turn, tinsel dripping from the mantelpiece but there is absolute warmth and feel good factor about this one. Not every Christmas is about having all the trimmings it's about people and the pressures - A wonderful life broke that cliche. If you've not watched it, give it a go, if you've misunderstood it, give it some attention. Summary, a feel good 'alternative' Christmas movie.

Love the Coopers (2015) is a fun, delightful holiday film about a family coming together for Christmas dinner. I loved the ensemble cast. I'm a big fan of most of the actors. Marisa Tomei, Diane Keaton, Olivia Wilde, John Goodman, and others all star as members of the Cooper family. They all give very good performances, I especially loved Olivia Wilde's performance. I loved her storyline with her and her man she met on the way to meet her family. The chemistry between the two is electric, I liked the dialogue between the two, it was both funny at times and sweet and touching. And I also liked following the other family members stories and the script allows for the audience to get invested in the characters and see deep into why they are the way they are. I thought that Marisa Tomei and her storyline with the police officer was very interesting and it really gave a look into her character. Keaton and goodman are great together and I loved their story and seeing them go through what they were going through. Overall love the coopers isn't out of this world, but it is a sweet fun way to spend a couple hours, especially over Christmastime. 7/10 for love the coopers.

Cute movie. Very relatable. A little bit for everyone. Will add to regular Christmas movie list. I'd like to know where the sledding hill was filmed. That looks like fun! The entire cozy set was nice. The actors did a great job too! Bravo! I laughed and I cried. 300 word is a lot to write when you're not a person of many words.
