Notre Noël à la ferme

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.

Unlike the average american christmas boogaloos, with rich and perfect people in star spangled decked halls of joy, dressed up with the hottest of christmas clothes and gifts that makes the average tv viewer dizzy of expectations and cravings...

mostly because this is a british made flick on the topic. Most of all its a darn colourfilled charade of a christmas parade, set in the hilly meadows rural south of london somewhere, where a lonesome overworked ,just widoved man and his 5 children celebrates the holidays at a just inherited from an estranged fathers farm. But the hi-fi feeling of lack of wi.fi, and a commanding boss in the city that demands the biggest project in the companys history to be ready at the 24th of december, and the culprit that has to do that job is the allready stressed out single father.

... i shall not spoil more of the fun, just say that this film is for the most childiest children and ditto adults, because its chaos deluxe but enchanting for sure.

The production overall bears signs of amateurism, the lead cameraman has for sure blue jeans, and the light settings are somehow too bright, but the decorations and colourfilled x-mas light settings do shake the foundations of a grumpy old man, story and plot though aint more than it should be.a small recommend.

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!

Toss your adult expectations. This is not a typical Hallmark moment, but a funny, frenetic flick that is chock full of quirky characters, most of whom have ADHD. The colors are bright and cheery and give the film a real upbeat vibe. I loved all the adorable animals.

Like most holiday movies, the plot is simplistic but it has a lot of heart. It focuses on family and new beginnings after loss. It left me with real holiday spirit. Kids will not be bored and some adults, like me, will find it endearing. I think this could become a classic. Warning for the wokeaverse: there is a mixed race kiss at the end and two of the characters might be gay.
