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

I have created an account simply to warn anyone planning on watching this movie. It is simply put the single worst Christmas movie I have ever watched Falling for Christmas.

Utterly disappointing. The script for this film was so utterly bad, that even the crew of veteran actors couldn't save it. It was such a complete bore that we stopped watching it twenty minutes in.

I know it was cliche but there were some laughs. The writing was fair and the acting was B grade. I would say that it's nice to see just plain old family squabbling at Christmas. I would watch it again.

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
