Luke Buckmaster Guardian One can sense the stench of schmaltz coming a mile away. Rated: 2/5 Dec 1, 2022 Full Review Stephen A. Russell Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) What follows is predictable enough, including comic pratfalls, fart jokes, a smoking barbecue and broken waters, but it doesn’t have to reinvent the Christmas cheese wheel. That’s the joy of these barmy, bogan-charm holiday movies. Dec 1, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

S G A great Ozzy ,"Home alone " Christmas movie, it's funny with an important family theme, could watch ever Christmas, we watched at first because we are fans of Genevieve Lemon from her "Rabbit Warren " days, but we stayed for the great movie 10/10. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Conrad M So cringy but couldn't stop watching. It's a terrible film and has some awkward Aussie humour. I can't believe I watched the whole thing 🤣 Might watch it again next year. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review David M A very cringeworthy Aussie flick. The only people who would perhaps be tempted to watch would be families, however they ruin that by throwing in a few swear words for good measure. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/22 Full Review Audience Member A toy store owner and his team are held hostage on christmas eve by 2 girls. It's a little bit "Home Alone" with a twist. Aside from some choice words, it's a decent holiday flick for the fam. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
