Predictably, specificity subsides and broader, physical humour takes over, all of it unfunny not only for its lack of originality but for how it forces a mostly adequate cast into outsized cartoon acting that they can’t convincingly pull off.

Rated: 2/5

Some movies are movies. Other movies are cocoa. 'A Merry Little Ex-Mas' is the latter.

The chemistry isn't there and it isn't very funny

It’s rare to find a Christmas movie so devoid of any kind of chemistry with any of the cast, logical script or even a touch of genuine, heartfelt emotion. Maybe in that sense A Merry Little Ex-Mas is a bit of a Christmas miracle?

Rated: 1.5/10

A Merry Little Ex‑Mas, on Netflix, is sweet and warm and a nice watch for the holidays with something more than generic tropes to offer.

Rated: 2.5/5

Even though family Christmas pictures aren’t known for their originality or style, I certainly was expecting more from A Merry Little Ex-Mas.

Filme: Um Natal Ex-pecial Assistido: 18-11-25 Elenco: @aliciasilverstone @piersonfode @theoliverhudson @melissajoanhart @jameelajamil @timothyinnes93 @heyemilyhall @melissajoanhart Modelo: #comedia #romance #natalino Duração: 1h 29m Ano: 2025 Minha opinião: Ver Alicia tão velha foi um impacto, lembrando de "As Patricinhas de Berverlyhills" 1995. Isso faz lembra que também envelheci Kkkkk. Aqui um filme de Natal. Onde Alicia esta divorciando Oliver com quem tem 1 casal de filhos. E Alicia abriu mão de tudo para constituir a família e deixando os seus sonhos. MAs decidiram terminar depois de passar o último Natal em família. Mas acaba descobrindo que Oliver ja tem uma namorada Jameela, bem mais jovem e bonita. E para se vingar ela encontra Fodé, também jovem e saradão. Só que quando eles estão juntos só se fala de ou de outro. O filme vai assando e é um querendo provar para o outro que é melhor para os filhos que o outro. E assim fazem oque não faziam quando casados. E também abrindo o coração. No final acabam se reconciliando e vivendo felizes para sempre? Vale apena assistir?: A grande novidade é poder ver Alicia atuando. Um filme mediano. Nota: 5

The only thing good about this movie is the house, it looks great! And It says this movie is a comedy and romantic, but it was none of that. This must be the worst Christmas movie script that’s ever written!

Very very bad movie! No one character got to develop at any point of the movie. The story was lame and the conflicts got solved out of nothing. Not emotions, the acting was very bad too, no one acted good in this movie. Such a waste of time.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
