People are getting this confused with the movie of the same title on Amazon Prime. This is NOT THAT MOVIE! That movie came out in 2015 with a different name, this one came out on 2020 and has to do with the pandemic, but in a Very Funny way!!! It's actually the best Computer Screen Film I've every seen! You wouldn't think a comedy on Zoom could work, but with all the family storylines and like 10 jokes every minute, this Christmas Staycation is very well done!
If you're looking for a Christmas movie that really stands out, Christmas Staycation is it! This isn't like all those Hallymarky Snoooozefests and the production isn't at all like a Hollywood Blockbuster, but Christmas Staycation has more heart and laughs than any recent Christmas movie. Yeah, it's all on Zoom and the pandemic is a big part of it, but the story is heatfelt, the family has real problems, and the jokes are non-stop! The actors did a phemonal job with this and the writing is top-notch. If you need to a pick me up this holiday season, this is a total recommend!
Don't confuse this with the movie on Amazon Prime. This movie actually has a story! Christmas Staycation (2021) on Amazon Prime is actually A Dog For Christmas (2015), they just took the same movie and gave it a new title this year. This Christmas Staycation is a zoom moive from 2020 with actually heart and story! You can buy this Christmas Staycation on DVD at Barnes and Nobles and stream on Vimeo and Hoopla. 2 completey different movies!
Not many good things came out of 2020, but this is one of those good things! This movie is destined to be a Christmas Cult Classic. It's modern, fitting, and hysterical for so many reasons. From the bad online dates to trying to satisfy your family when your family can't be together, there's so much this family can't get right. And we've all been there. The cast is incredibly talented and the Gloomgardy Family is a dysfunctional mess that you can't help but love. Yule have a good time with all these virtual Christmas antics.
This is not the Christmas Staycation on Amazon Prime. This is the original that came out in 2020 and has a much better story!!! Please don't confuse them. This one was filmed all over zoom and is about a family that physicallly can't be together. The one on Amazon Prime is a "A Dog For Christmas" (2015) that they renamed with this title. If you're going to review that movie, look up a "A Dog for Christmas" (2015). This movie, "Christmas Staycation"
(2020) is not on Prime, but is on DVD and streaming on Hoopla and Vimeo.
