Associées contre notre ex

I am in the middle of this and it is one of the worst movies ever. How bad? It is four years ago and does not even have a rotten tomato record. Plot is horrible. Acting is horrible. Just got to a scene where the blonde falls off a two story balcony, flat on her back on concrete. The other character looks down and the blond smiles back up and waves STUPIDLY. If you watch it, you will know what I mean.

Three women scorned set out to get revenge on their ex. They perceived he cheated on them and want to ruin his current relationship and save his latest flame. Whether or not he cheated is a running theme of the movie. The movie goes for low laughs when it could have gone high. All in all not worth the space on the shelf. This one should have not gotten the green light.

Well, not that the two movies are tied together, but I enjoyed the 2021 "Boyfriends of Christmas Past", and then I stumbled upon the 2016 movie "Girlfriends of Christmas Past" and of course I opted to watch that one as well.

But writer and director Jake Helgren just didn't manage to churn out a movie that provided me with much of any entertainment or enjoyment here. In fact, the movie was totally devoid of comedy that made me laugh. So sitting through an hour and a half of half-baked comedy that didn't even make me smile was sort of a drag.

The storyline told in "Girlfriends of Christmas Past" fell short of entertaining me, yet I managed to sit through the ordeal to the bitter end, hoping all along that the movie would pick up and become better. But that just never happened.

I only recognized John Brotherton in this movie, though it is not someone I am familiar with. But I will say that they definitely had managed to get together a good enough ensemble of actors and actresses to partake in the movie. Just a real shame that they had virtually nothing to work with in terms of a proper script or characters that you could relate to or even take a liking to.

This 2016 movie is not one I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this ordeal so you don't have to.

My rating of "Girlfriends of Christmas Past" lands on a very generous two out of ten stars.

Cast was great, plot could've been awesome but was just kind of sad and embarrassing. End of movie revelations felt too fake and seemed like they were written by dudes. "Wow us ladies are just dumb and picking the wrong guys! I've learned my lesson and will stop doing that from now on." *eyeroll*

The movie was funny and it had some cute moments, so, overall, the movie was entertaining. Sure, it is predictable and a bit less heavy on the christmas mood, but it was okay.
