Father Christmas Is Back

We tried, but could not stay with this Christmas lump of coal. Overdone in all aspects. Plus it used every retread of family disfunction ever in a movie. It went on and on, and overstuffed scenes like Santa stuffing his presents in his sack. Why would anybody fund this mess, and think it would be a success to annoy the viewing audience with such overacted garbage?

If you like Christmas movies, and comedies like many of us, do yourself a favor and pass this dog by. Ruff, Ruff.

This is a bad christmas movie. Most of the comedy was simply awful and not funny. The sisters were horrible. The story made little to no sense. I would not reccomend the movie.

I thought the opening credits might have been a deliberate pastiche given the pedigree of many of the cast but I couldn't have been more wrong - what an absolutely dreadful ..... I hesitate to use the word film - my headline tag of "Dire" doesn't come anywhere close to describing just how bad this was - watched for 10 minutes- ffwded the remainder.

Amazing Comedy on Paper OMG what a cast, this gotta be great... wrong... it was overacted, even for britisch standards... the humor was as old as Liz Hurleys Wonderbra... Short and simple this is a bad movie and only a few people will appreciate it.

The opening credits with the garish lighting and cheesy smiling mugs of the lead cast should have been a tip off... This Christmas comedy is very campy and silly, but without actual great punchlines or clever/witty dialogue. Kids might like it more than adults. Production value also feels more like a TV movie than a movie-movie. If you make it all the way through, ending is kind of cute.
