I honestly can't believe nobody started a thread about this Christmas flick
😲
I went through the forums alphabetically—nothing! Just empty hands.

It’s watchable. Fun. Actually funny.
👍👍

I read some rumors that the leads—you know, Jennifer Aniston’s guy and that girl from Smallville—barely finished filming this thing. Apparently, they were driving each other absolutely insane on set. There was even supposed to be a sex scene that got cut right at the start...
The brothers in this movie? Easily the most obnoxious characters I've seen in any film all year.
😲

Don't mess with me. I missed it on purpose, totally. But honestly? I think I'll go see it now. There’s absolutely nothing good playing at the theaters lately anyway, and I was actually pleasantly surprised by "Prison Work," so maybe I'll give that one a shot too.

What? What? WHAT???
😁
Did you even watch it?

I was honestly wondering why nobody had started a thread about this movie yet.. 🤷
I caught the trailer maybe two or three weeks ago and I actually liked what I saw... but I wasn't about to go through the trouble of downloading it until someone else confirmed it’s actually good. So, yeah, I'm downloading it now. 😉

Wait, what? What am I even looking at?

Did he seriously just strip down?
😁

The movie was total garbage—just typical American trash, especially for a Christmas flick. Even Reese Witherspoon couldn't save this one, and Vince V. wasn't exactly shining either. Sure, there are some funny moments here and there, but it's all just cliché and honestly pretty pathetic. The only decent bit is the joke about the brothers being named after where they were conceived: Denver, Orlando 😂

But wait, who says it's actually good? People are calling it just "watchable"... which, if you ask me, is kind of a bummer. The trailer caught my eye and I really thought it would be worth the time... but clearly, there are much better movies out there right now. 😳

People in the theater were actually laughing...
I haven't heard anything like that from any other comedies lately.

For me, it was watchable.
☕

Look, I totally get where you're coming from, but there's a massive difference in my book between saying a movie is just "watchable" versus actually being "worth your time."

It’s funny how people will laugh at basically any 😬 and for all sorts of random 😳
reasons.
But hey, were you actually laughing too? And did you catch that weird vibe where the lead actors clearly couldn't stand each other, even though they absolutely nailed their performances professionally?

My god, what a grotesque mess of a movie. Honestly, I found it totally repulsive and impossible to sit through. Based on the premise, you’d think it was going to be some cute little Christmas comedy, but instead—ugh, just gross. I seriously don't get how this stuff passes for "humor" these days. Man, it feels like people just can't make a decent comedy anymore.

Look, this is just a lighthearted Christmas movie, not some heavy-handed Oscar contender trying to be deep
🤷
I actually had a good time with it.

Grotesque is putting it lightly. It’s genuinely uncomfortable, and frankly, quite unpleasant to sit through. There isn't a single trace of those heartwarming Christmas story elements—you know, the kind of sentimental fluff they usually sprinkle into American comedies of this genre to make them palatable.

I didn't find that even remotely relaxing. Look, I wasn't expecting some deep masterpiece or anything, just something lighthearted to laugh at, but instead, I got pure grotesque garbage. It’s just proof of how mindless and numb people have become—zero empathy and absolutely no clue what actual humor even means anymore. Because for me, this movie was anything but funny.

northernangler17, thanks for the input! 👍 I honestly thought I was picking up something fun and lighthearted to watch, but clearly, I was totally wrong about this one...

Maybe that's the whole point of the movie.

What? What? What exactly are we talking about here?

Did he actually strip down?
😁

Yeah... but I don't have the time to sit through the whole thing. Just give it to me straight: is it actually worth watching?☕

So, I guess I’ll be the only one who actually thinks this movie is any good. Typical.

Noted.
It reminds me of when that interviewer sat down with the Beckhams and asked them why on earth they chose Brooklyn as a name for their child.
