Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

girlboygraveyard I really liked this movie. It has been getting torn apart by critics, but I tend to be member of the Birdman train of thought about Critics, "A man becomes a critic when he cannot be an artist…" This film isn't pretentious, nor is it trying to be anything it isn't. It is a thoughtful and goofy Christmas movie.If you feel like you need a laugh, you will find many in this movie.Highlights of the movie for me:-It is refreshing to see James Roday in something that isn't Psych. He does a great job being the most endearing creep there ever was. By the end of the film you feel really bad for him!-Jon Heder and Max Casella's elevator was just delightful. There is nothing more awkward then running into an old boss, especially one that has just fired you. Now imagine being stuck with that guy overnight, in a cramped elevator. They both handle the arc of their relationship well. Jon Heder does a great job at not being the abnormal nerd, but a character with distinguishable layers.-The film bears an overall message of the interconnectedness of us all, and how we need to slow down to see it.Cons for me:-A little more Roday would have been nice. Can we have a film just about his character? I mean he works at a morgue how cool is that.I will be seeing this again! Soon!P.S. Watch this movie with people, it's one of those movies that is better in a group of people, not locked away in a dark closet with your laptop.

buzzn-66238 Sat down with the girlfriend thinking let's watch a Christmas movie, we were both excited by the idea of another funny Chrissy flick especially coming up to that time. We made a mistake. It cost us our night. Absolute waste of time.. the reviews were a lot higher a few days ago which makes me think maybe it was the creator's friends jumping on? 2 stars for effort but this was nothing but frustrating and I can't for the life of me imagine who it might even appeal to.It wasn't bad acting, it was simply unlikable characters with zero story line. Like a bunch of unfunny skit shows thrown together and no point.WHY?! WHY would you make this?!Doesn't matter how many times you've seen Jingle All The Way or The Santa Clause... Watch anything that made you laugh once, even for a 5th time over, before you even look at this "movie".My first review ever on here... I just had to warn the people.

Kyle Stapley I really enjoyed this film. It was a family film that maintained a really cool independent film style. It seems to have had a smaller budget, but they really went for it and got everything out of it. Especially when it came to the actors. Man what a cast! I love Sir Patrick as much as the next guy, but I got to say Steven John Shepherd was a revelation. Man can he act. I started looking up some of the cast I didn't recognize and realized that many of them were British. Fooled me. I watched it a second time knowing this and was able to capture a few slip-ups, but for the most part they were really convincing as Americans. This film felt so comfortable with itself. It never tried to be anything it is not. I think that is the biggest take away I got from it. Be what we are. We can see the characters embrace themselves and we can also see the film embrace itself. Now I just hope more people see the film and embrace it as I have, because I sure did love it!

ckssteele I like movies with interesting characters and witty dialogue that carries a message. This movie gave me all three. Some characters were charming, others quirky, and a few carried scars or burdens that seemed to lurk below the surface of their social mask. It showcased humanity within the context of comedy and left me pondering about some of the characters even after the movie was over. I love the idea that many of our lives overlap without even knowing, and that our impact on other people makes a difference for good or bad. Adding to the ambiance of the film is the context of everything taking place on Christmas Eve, which elevated the charm and sentimentality. Definitely worth the watch!
