Notre Noël à la ferme

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.

Well, whadyaknow, a Christmas film with no boring bits.

This is a crazy film with crazy characters and crazy situations so you can't equate it to real life. It's not intended to. The 100 minutes just flew by.

Forget about any deep analysis. All you have to do is sit down and enter into the spirit of it. It's clearly aimed at younger children but if you're still young at heart, like me, it will be fun. Add in the feel-good factor and Bob's your Uncle.

Christmas films are not really my thing but I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Bonus. The music was excellent.

Shame the village is fictional otherwise I'd be moving there pronto!!

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.

I watched this not expecting anything except maybe a cheesy hallmark type romcom. It's so ridiculous I laughed like crazy. I kept watching to see if it got worse. And it didn't disappoint! I think it was made for elementary kids, who like slapstick comedy. I kept expecting Macaulay Calkin to jump out anytime. Might be a fun movie for kids. Throw in a little sci-fi and you'd have the perfect film for mystery science theater. And don't forget there's many references to the village people thrown in. And a western theme only those from London who have never left the city could come up with.

The acting is horrid. But the animals are cute. And the story is disjointed. It's a story my 8 year could have easily written and directed.

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!
