Everyone is really stretching incredulity for this project, and for that I am grateful.

This movie is the anti Love, Actually.

A movie whose only footnote in history will hopefully be as a trivia question as the project that brought Kelsey Grammer, John Cleese, Caroline Quentin and Liz Hurley together for nearly two hours of tinsel-wrapped tedium.

Rated: 1.5/5

Saw the big names and thought it must be good. HOW WRONG WAS I. this movie is absolutely truly undoubtedly one of the most awful christmas movies ive seen. It was like its written and produced by a child there's no storyline it jumps from scene to scene with some weird sound effects on certain places like its a cartoon.. then out of no where theres kelsey grammar proposal lol. Its not funny either. Just a jumble of weirdness. How did all these big names agree to making this movie lol

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I have been avoiding this movie for a couple of years now because of all the bad reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. This movie was really endearing and it is now one of my favorites. I highly recommend it.

A complete mess. Looks like it was made by someone who does movies as a side hustle and has no idea what he's doing. How the big name actors agreed to this is beyond me.

Disingenuious. Watch 12 Days of Christmas Eve with Kelsey Grammer (2022) instead.

It is sentimental, it is funny. Not recommended if you are not in the Christmas mood.
