Twelve Days of Christmas

TWELVE DAYS has three or four moments, which padded out should last about 8-10 minutes. At almost 90 minutes, it's a testament to the downside of digital filming: There's no expense to contain half-baked ideas.

Throughout the film I kept wondering what kind of pizza followed that scene. TWELVE DAYS feels like a lot of theater friends knocked themselves out projecting to the back rows.

I was hoping there would be triumphs along the way. Instead, the forced humor, mug-pulling and over-animated antics are exhausting to watch.

When i write this in september, and its for sure not a good old fashion xmas family cosy time in front of the screen waiting for the giftparade to start. no, its a story about young people coming home for xmas, and things aint quite as it should be. but there are a longton loads of things that happens, so if you like verbalistic humour, be my guest.

what i dont like about this film, is the extreme volume of spoken words, even shouting and screaming at eachother, and its done for fun, that didnt touch much of a grumpy old mans houmouristic sense. its an indie movie, made at a more or less private budget, so take it for what it is, i say a lot of amateur acting and production, and its not a rewinder for me.

Not by any stretch of the imagination. It has an abundance of F-bombs, drugs, alcohol, and a lot of real screaming even in flashbacks. Why would anyone ever give this film a title with the word Christmas in it?? It truly deserves a zero minus 10.
