With the name "Nutcrackers," I was expecting this comedy to be more like the Problem Child series with a Christmas twist. Ben Stiller's character mimics the acting he did in the "Meet the Parents" series where he plays an average Joe who finds himself in some comedic situations while caring for four young boys. I gave extra stars for the writers creating realistic scenes in which any parent of unsupervised rambunctious boys could find themselves in. The story line loses stars because of the pivot the story took when the ballet performance idea was introduced. Too much was jammed into such a short amount of time. I don't believe this movie will become a Christmas classic nor do I feel I will be watching it again. However, it does have a nice heartwarming ending.

This show is going to be cancelled for sure. It's a little bit worse then B Positive. It is however kinda funny. I miss sitcoms like this, it a shame our standards have become so high. I don't think Friends would make it in today's times.

I watched this show up to the fourth episode to give it an honest review. It honestly doesn't get any better. Viewers have no way to connect and relate to these characters. The idea of the parents going into the basement to escape their kids is just dumb. The episode with the grandparents visiting was a bit more entertaining but then they followed it up with an episode where the two teenagers (age 15 & 16) want to move out and write an obscenely long document in the reasons why they should. Again, unrealistic....

I've made it up to the wedding rehearsal or is it the actual wedding... the script is so bad I don't even know. At this point I have to see this through to the end.

I am a huge fan of the Hallmark channel's Christmas movies and although they are all a little cheesy they are not nearly as bad as this Netflix Christmas movie.

And who the hell does she keep on texting??? 🙄

I grew up loving the original Benji movie and was so excited when this one was released and could not wait to watch it with my younger children. I was not disappointed and my kids equal fell in love with Benji as much as I did.
