Bonjour l'esprit de Noël

The best word to describe this movie was weird. I heard someone say it sounded like AI wrote it or something. And that is very true. I don't understand exactly what they were going for, it's like someone saw a movie before and decided to make one but really didn't have any idea what they were doing. Like an alien made it and was trying to blend in with the humans. Nobody was offensively bad or anything acting wise, so of the people in it I wondered what they were doing there as they were "too" famous for such a low production Hallmark channel type movie. Netflix is just shooting this stuff out and canceling good stuff, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I would not recommend this weird movie.

Another typical Netflix original Xmas movie with has been actors and awful dialogue. I don't know who this movie is for either - it's not particularly funny or thoughtful so adults will be bored by it, and the themes are a little too much for kids to comprehend and the jokes aren't for them either so I dunno.

The actors are honestly trying and they're not the problem at all. It's just lazily and cheaply done and is another in a long list of bad Xmas movies nobody will ever watch but NF shareholders will be told that 'there's now 2000 holiday movies on the service so we will def attract more subscribers with them!'

And the ending is so rushed and out of nowhere that it reminded me of the ending to CATS. Which is never a good sign. And it starts with a character talking right to the camera - which is then never done again.

Skip this one, it doesn't even have the light hearted whimsy that other Xmas flicks have. It's serious and boring and I wish the leads had better material to work with...

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.

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.

Was this written by people? Was it AI? Did it start being written before the writers strike but had a deadline and got chatgpt to write it?

It just had no humanness to it. The plot is weird, the characters are weird, the script it weird.

I kept watching because it took so many turns I had no idea where it was going, it could have gone in a lot of good directions, but the ending was like a sugar dream that came out of nowhere. All the Christmas fantasy tropes in the last 5 minutes with no context.

I have no words to describe this film other than bizarre.

Listen to the reviews. Don't waste your time.
