Christmas vs. The Walters

A new take on a Christmas story. It's not all marshmellows, but instead, it follows a normal game with normal problems with one, the matriarch trying to hold it together. It's fun, funny, heatwarming, and a new addition to the Christmas Movie lineup.

It's not your typical Lifetime movie, it's much better.

I gave this a 9 out of 10 and think these ratings are off. My wife and I went to see if this past weekend. First I will say she dragged me to go - I thought it would be lame. The beginning was a little slow but then everytime I looked over she was smiling and chuckling. The more I saw she was really enjoying it, I guess I let me guard down and I found myself getting sucked into the story and this family. The mom, I think Shawnee from Becker was really convincing, felt like it was my own wife at the helm and I found myself on the journey with this family. I am a little embarrased to say this film choked me up. Its not a straight out comedy but it has funny parts and real emotion to it. It plays great in the theater but also a fun one to cuddle up infront of the fire on demand.

Plus, all the accounts from which 9/10 or 10/10 reviews came from are all made exactly 7 months ago (for this movie specifically, I'm assuming) and that is their only review ever. Classic bots that are payed to boost up a movie so more people would watch it.

Don't even bother with this one, guys. Just... don't. You can tell all throughout the movie that actors did it only because of the money, not because they believe in project. They don't even believe in their characters even WHILE playing them!

There were some small efforts, so I'm giving it 3/10.

The movie just dragged on! It's not funny or entertaining, even the "drama and comedy skits" are boring as heck. Seriously boring, the drama was incredibly mundane, it's like watching a kid trying to throw a fit without actually crying. Everything just seemed forced and unnatural. The actors didn't even seem to want to be there. They litterally seemed like "is the scene done? Cool, I got a thing to get to"

Honestly it's not worth the time to watch. It litterally felt like a 3 or 4 hour movie, it just seemed to keep going and there's nothkng to keep your attention. Sorry if that's mean, it's just the truth.

It's been a rocky 2 years and this film is just what I needed. Took my daughter yesterday in Tucson and really enjoyed it - so relatable and for moms we sometimes get the short end of the stick. In love this family, not nearly as much as my own but really loved it - it's really a fun one. Go see it.
