La Grève de Noël

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.

In this movie Meet Joy Robertson (Daphne Zuniga, TV's Melrose Place), a supermom who does it all -- even though her husband Stephen (David Sutcliffe, TV's Private Practice) and the rest of her family don't seem to appreciate just how hard she works, especially when it comes to Christmas. As the season rapidly approaches, the decorating, shopping, wrapping, baking and planning keep piling up - - and Joy's busy family just expects her to make it all magically happen without any help. Not this year! Joy goes on strike for the holidays, quickly inspiring a town-wide movement.

This film had potential but fails. The actors playing the teen boys look like they are 30. There is also a woman in this who has a way over the top southern accent.

I am however a huge fan of David Sutcliffe and he is charming here. The film however ends with a stupid sing along that just doesn't work. It should have ended "ONE YEAR LATER" showing the family working together to make "Christmas Enjoyable FOr Everyone".

Watchable but forgettable as well!

I gave this a 10 because it did what movies are supposed to do: make us feel good. Ignore the negative criticisms made by some reviewers and just enjoy. Even though the grandmother was obviously too young looking, it did not keep me from enjoying the movie. By the way, David Sutcliffe was about 41 when this was made, so he certainly was old enough to be the father of teen boys. I put this movie in the category of the Hallmark movies.

This is a wholesome movie and I had a big smile on my face the entire time. I love the more dramatic series such as Daredevil, but once in a while it is nice to take a break from murder and mayhem and watch a simple, clean movie. Teens would probably find this boring, but not this old lady and many others like me out there!

More than a Christmas film, it is a very nice family film. Surprising in some measure because the roots of strike are so present in near reality life than the mix of irony and conflicts, hilarious situations and the attittude of ladies are more than realistic or familiar but just fair. It can be perceived as feminist manifesto with Hallmark end and the work of Julia Duffy is just precious. Short, family and the connections defining it so well.

This is a light and quite amusing family comedy. The first two thirds of this movie is quite fun and entertaining. Haven't really seen a movie where the men try to cook and mess up and it's quite laugh out loud funny.

Daphne Zuniga looks quite young for her age and is pleasing to watch - always wondered why she didn't get more roles. David Sutcliffe looks a bit young to be a father of teens. The later part kind of gets corny but it's a good movie for families with just sons and no daughters to watch (or daughters who don't help their moms). Watch it and appreciate mom a bit more.

Stop treating your grown kids like toddlers (cleaning up after them, doing everything for them), and stop trying to make everything perfect. I Like the cast, and the concept had potential, but the end result is just bad.
