Day after ick

Reviewed by Sleepin_Dragon 2 / 10

Kate and Everett decide to "consciously uncouple," but still insist on sharing one last family Christmas. Kate's taking it in her stride - until she discovers Everett has upgraded to Tess, a dazzling English rose who glides in like she's never known hardship or a badly lit kitchen.If, like me, you fall victim to the infamous Netflix algorithm and are forced to endure this festive misery, consider this your warning. Don't let its chart position fool you - trust me, anyone who hit play before several eggnogs clearly wasn't thinking straight.Prepare to be clobbered by a relentless barrage of sugar-fuelled torment. Kate is frostier than the rooftops, a loathsome character you're somehow meant to sympathise with. By comparison, Tess seems really rather lovely. It's not Alicia Silverstone's finest hour, sadly - Kate feels more like someone who should be haunting a Halloween sequel than decking the halls.And then there's Nigel. Oh Nigel... the English Harry Potter devotee. He's excruciating. Truly appalling. He makes those caricature Brits from Murder, She Wrote look positively well-rounded.Naturally, the Hallmark truck backs up and unloads its decorations budget (roughly equivalent to the GDP of a small nation). Brace yourself for endless baking scenes - the sort that only happen in fantasy Christmas kitchens where not a spoon, crumb, or mildly rebellious spatula is ever out of place.The jokes land with a thud, and by the end you find yourself wishing they'd simply not bothered. The credits are the only warmth you'll feel during the entire experience.We're meant to feel for Kate, the wronged wife, but frankly I'm surprised Everett didn't flee to Poland twenty years ago.It's all rather loathsome.2.5/10.

Really terrible

I really wanted to like this movie. I like the cast and the premise was good but wow did this fall flat. Somehow, other than Jamila and the Harry Potter boyfriend, everyone was two-dimensional and the acting was terrible. There wasn't nearly enough Melissa Joan-Hart to try and salvage it. Alicia's character was a horrible spoilt brat and the husband was a d****bag. It's really difficult to be invested in a movie when you hate all the characters because they're completely unlikeable and then to top it all off with terrible acting and the producers throwing in all the clichès but also failing at that, makes this a very sad movie.
