"Falling for fakeness." - If two cliches got together and had children... And their children met other cliches... And THEY had children together... This movie would be their love child.
I feel like this is the year Hollywood is sneaking in movies that are 100% created by AI/deep fake tech.
I can't fault the actors. Nobody could convince you that this story was remotely plausible or interesting.
It's supposed to be a romcom. Who would you say that audience might be? Well you have to be young enough to believe raccoons have human facial expressions, toilet brushes get stuck in toilets, if you get a stuck toilet brush out of a toilet, the toilet will suddenly turn into a mini geyser, if you put an entire bottle of detergent into the washing machine, it will immediately dance and jump around and the person who JUST set it, walks away and Won't notice anything wrong... I can only see 3 to 5 year olds laughing at all the CRAZINESS! So much zany shenanigans. It's the world of Amelia Bedilia come to life, but much less interesting and funny.
The Santa-like character and most of the other actors are randomly making the creepiest looks and oddest expressions.
I've never seen a most unbelievable string of montages that is supposed to have taken place over 4 days. It's a Christmas miracle!
Maybe it will take on a cult following and become the funniest Xmas movie 5 years from now.
Did I mention the blooper reel?
Here... Skip to the part at the end where he reminisces about all the great times they had in 4 days. This will give you all the scenes they spoon fed you along the way so they could have all kinds of great memories in an hour's time. You can watch the entire movie in 7 minutes or so. And then watch the "bloopers" to know without a doubt that you did yourself a great service in only killing a total of 8 to 10 minutes
This would have been better marketed under the horror genre.
Giant pass. Or figure out how to turn this into a drinking game. Every time someone's face or look makes you feel uncomfortable, drink!
Good luck.
