Critics Consensus

Holidate's self-aware approach to rom-com formula is refreshing, but it's offset by a questionable premise and unnecessarily vulgar jokes.

Every scene is drudgery, every joke is homework, and every plot point is hell.

I wish the film had the guts to sit here longer, but, instead, it continues with the unnecessary chaos...

Holidate falls in the bland no-man's land between being sharp enough to appeal to adults (à la Bridesmaids) and tame enough to watch with the whole family.

Loud and Clear Reviews

Holidate is a hilarious and heartfelt addition to the “holiday romcom” canon, carried commendably by Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey.

Rated: 4/5

The biggest issue with Holidate is that none of the characters are likable, least of all our two would-be lovers.

I think it’s hilarious, with Emma Roberts being her usually wonderful and charismatic self, while Luke Bracey is able to give us a caring, yet at some times prudish love interest with blends perfectly with Emma Roberts’s Sloane. It’s goofy, and wonderfully campy, and is criminally underrated.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Nothing too special but if you like Emma Roberts probably still worth a watch. Not something you will remember much of a few years down the track but if you are desperate for a romance pic it will do the job.

I love this easy rom com to comfort me. I watch this movie at least once a year around the holiday.

I agree with the consensus that this could have been a much better movie if the jokes were less crass.
