This movie had a lot of promise but it's politics got in the way. It's a hard land in an election year full of such vitriol. I applaud the filmmakers for taking the chance and the acting was on par but the whole stuff with Hillary Swank and her motives felt too bogus for me.

A light-hearted Halloween Sandler-special. I was happy to see Sandler re-team with Julie Bowen all these years after Happy Gilmore. And Ben Stiller's cameo was an unexpected laugh. The movie is definitely cheesy which at times is too much and that's why I only give it a 6. Still worth a watch when you're scrolling through and can't decide.

Wow, where to begin. The movie follows a teenage girl who very early on sets up her dysfunctional, small Ohio town before learning she's pregnant on Christmas Eve. That's not really a spoiler since it's in the trailer and on the front imdb page. The movie then takes a dark turn. Like... really dark! We quickly learn that it's not just her hometown that's dysfunctional but also her family. There is some offbeat humor in the first half but the last half of the movie is especially fast, furious and funny! The trailer shows you that you're in for a little crude humor but what happened at the end stunned me in a dazed smile that didn't disappear from my face for the rest of the night. I will say that if you are looking for the traditional "Christmas spirit" you won't find it here!! But what you will find is a unique black comedy that weirdly fits the mood for 2020. There are moments where you can tell the filmmakers didn't have a lot of money but honestly, this was far more enjoyable then half the crap I've seen on Netflix and 100% of the Lifetime and Hallmark Christmas movies I've ever seen. Having said all that, I expect people to either love it or hate it and I loved it!
