One can sense the stench of schmaltz coming a mile away. Go to Full Review Sarah Ward ScreenHub 22h
As the likeable-enough movie unfurls its seasonal antics in a family-owned toy store that’s seen more profitable days, it also adds a Die Hard angle. Go to Full Review Stephen A. Russell Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) 12/01/2022
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

S G @Sean123456789 Dec 16 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. See more Conrad M Dec 14 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. See more David M 12/08/2022 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. See more 12/03/2022 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. See more Read all reviews
