Nosso Natal na Fazenda

Then the family goes to the farm. I watched (and liked) it and even laughed out loud a couple of times. That is, until the children (who are charming) meet the farm hand, Beano. The character was so, so over the top (think a British Jim Carrey on coke or meth). His frenetic energy and ZERO pauses/breaks/downtime were overwhelming. It was like he was trying to channel Robin Williams, but the bits he did felt very, very rehearsed, with none of the improvisational charm Williams was so famous for. We only made it about 15 minutes after his introduction. I just couldn't take it any more. It had potential, which makes it sad. Even that character could have been tolerable if he hadn't been running at 1000% every moment he was on screen. Maybe David Frost or a different British comic could have done the role justice...

Every year, I watch what I anticipate to be the worst Holiday movies of the season, and play a fun little game where they earn points based on how tropey and cringey they are. This one blew every movie I have ever watched out of the water. The acting? Phenomenal(ly terrible). The costuming? I think the design team just picked up a pattern book that said "World's Ugliest Crochet" and went with it, zero further thought. The hoe-down country bedazzle/on and off queer-coding of some characters? CHEF'S KISS. I believe in gentle parenting and am generally a patient and peaceful person, but this movie made me think if I were in the protagonists' shoes I would do my best to reinstate capital punishment for that village. Every single turn in the plot somehow takes you to a more nightmarish destination than you were before. I was actually filled with rage. It was so beautiful. I'm crying.

I watched this not expecting anything except maybe a cheesy hallmark type romcom. It's so ridiculous I laughed like crazy. I kept watching to see if it got worse. And it didn't disappoint! I think it was made for elementary kids, who like slapstick comedy. I kept expecting Macaulay Calkin to jump out anytime. Might be a fun movie for kids. Throw in a little sci-fi and you'd have the perfect film for mystery science theater. And don't forget there's many references to the village people thrown in. And a western theme only those from London who have never left the city could come up with.

The acting is horrid. But the animals are cute. And the story is disjointed. It's a story my 8 year could have easily written and directed.

As you know from watching the previews, this movie is a re-imagining of the classic movie Some Like It Hot (the one with Marilyn Monroe). Unlike the original, this one took place on a farm rather than a train. And instead of it being really funny it was a mishmash of random, random (I mean random) randomness.

The movie was a little predictable because I expected to have the movie be about boring farm life (the easy going life with animals and such) and so I was not at all surprised to see a village militia attacking investors with cow manure and raw meat.

This movie is expected to win many awards at the Oscars this year, particularly in the category of "how to squeeze every minute out of a 90 minute movie". As you watch it, you constantly assume it's wrapping up, only to find out it's not even half way done! Impressive!

Would I watch it again? That is a good ques... duh, yes I would!

I'm a fan of cheesy Christmas movies but this was not that.

Honestly got irritated and frustrated at so many turns. There was Emotional manipulation all over the place that was just glossed over & that really bothered me.

The story was all over the place & while I'm used to Christmas movies being just that this gave me whiplash going from one thing to another without making any sense.

There are so many Christmas movies don't waste your time on this one.

Characters were chaotic to say the least. I usually like just about every Christmas movie but this was disappointing. Instead of a feel good movie this triggered my anxiety repeatedly.
