Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Sexual innuendo, cursing in misguided farce about politics. Rated: 2/5 Dec 18, 2018 Full Review Joel Keller Decider SKIP IT. It's not a Christmas movie, it's not overly funny, and it's only a mediocre farce. Dec 10, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Jason T Hilarious! A little slapstick, but one of the better comedies these eyes have seen in a while. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Audience Member Short review: I am not familiar with Italian comedies so i do not have much to compare this too but it felt forced with how it kept introducing more characters to add chaos to the story that while it had a few funny moments was more rough then anything The film's premise is about a prime minister with aspirations for being a president is going to Budapest for a meeting though is much more interested in having an affair with a political rival by the name of senator Rossi. While at the hotel their tryst is interrupted by discovering a dead body of someone dressed as Santa caught on the windowsill. They immediately panic and attempt to hide the body for fear of the scandal that would ensue and are caught leading to their solution to pile on more lies to get out of the situation. It quickly develops into more and more lies creating a confusing web of stories that grows with each character that abruptly shows up to hide the truth, where by the end the lies are more of a problem then the apparent dead man. The movie ends in a way that technically resolves all their lies that lead into the mess they made but doesn't lead to them learning from it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This plays out like an old school farce, mostly (but not entirely) set in one room, lots of characters moving in and out, and it kept my interest throughout. Martina Stella and Ricky Memphis steal the show as the key supporting characters. The ending is a letdown, but I'd watch it again. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
