One can sense the stench of schmaltz coming a mile away.

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.

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.

Fun, whimsical, and just overall, a joy. Turn off your brain and have a fun time with the family this Christmas with this Aussie Chrissy Banger.

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.
