O Melhor. Natal. de Todos!

I'm sorry to put down a Christmas movie, but the acting and directing was almost 'laugh out loud' bad.

The story is quite cute, but the directing, script and acting just don't bring the best out of it at all. I was quite shocked by it really.

The actors don't display any authenticity, so it's hard to connect to them or empathise with them. Maybe they were struggling with a poor script and poor direction, because they have acted better in their other films. The plot being a bit too far fetched at times doesn't help either.

Shame on you Netflix for releasing this while jacking up our subscription costs by multiples of the inflation rate!

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.

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.

Easily Netflix's most inexpensive film yet. You can tell just how many corners they cut in their edit to just give us a fluffy movie that tries to hard to be like Elf and falls flat on its face.

The little boy in the film was the most entertaining part, because the acting from the adults just didn't cut it. You would think Biggs and Graham, who were the 90s names of teenage comedies, would have some sort of chemistry but they did not.

Graham, who looks a lot like Michelle Pfeiffer and Madonna now, is reminiscent of Charlotte from Sex in the City here and perhaps Kristin Davis would have been a better choice to cast for her part. Norwood was okay, but as soon as she spoke, I just wanted Awkwafina for her part.

This was about a 2.5 or 3 out of 5 until the last 20 minutes. The film just got overly cheesy and defied too much logic.

The plot got lost in the story after the first 15 minutes but it was a cute movie. There were funny moments and it was a good movie to watch whilst wrapping gifts.

The children, their characters and their story arc, were annoying and barely fit in the story.

It was messy, but so are the holidays. It's not the worst Christmas movie. I'm not a Brandy fan, but she was fine. She sang a few times. I liked the idea of old friends stuck together for the holidays.

I won't put this on my list of "must watch" each year, but I didn't hate watching this. I gave it four stars. It was fine. I appreciate what they were trying to do.
