I'm so glad someone did it.
I rate this a 9 compared to all other Christmas movies that I've seen. I've watched a ton of them and kind of hate myself a little each time I do because they are so cheesy and sappy. This is the movie I needed to feel better about myself. Two sisters, one super upbeat who loves Christmas and the other grumpy and hates it. The upbeat one wishes she could be in a perfect Christmas movie and her wish comes true, and the grumpy one is forced to come along too. The upbeat one is in heaven from all of the perfectness and sweetness that is typical of a Hallmark type Christmas movie and the grumpy one is in hell because it's nauseating (this is the one I relate to). The sap and cheese is so over the top, like Hallmark on steroids. I'm guessing that's what they were going for. It's hilarious! Finally, something different than all the formulated ones where you can figure out how the movie is going to end in the first 5 minutes. I highly recommend if you can handle spoofing on your beloved typical Christmas movie. - hannahb-56182 - 30 December 2022
Predictable and Pitiful
Wow, I mean a lot of recently remade or sequel-ed movies have not been great, let's be honest. Hocus Pocus I'm looking at you. But, I personally think this one is the worst, at least of the ones I've seen.
I feel like the sake of this movie was literally just to get the original cast together regardless of how well the plot/movie actually was.
I think the biggest problem I had with it was having a bunch of older adults acting like kids, and making this feel incredibly PG. And now, I know the first movie is for families, I understand. But, the first movie centers around actual children doing children things. Whereas this was adults doing those same children things, and it was just weird.
I like the idea of a bunch of childhood friends getting together and recreating their youth, but to an extent.
I wish these secondary movies/shows would try to be original. That's what made the first ones SO GREAT, because they weren't like anything else. Having them reuse plotlines is boring. Having them reuse taglines is funny the first time, but not any time after that. Come up with something better. That's all I ask.
