There is literally nothing positive I can say about this movie. The trailer makes it look like a happy, lighthearted holiday movie...nothing could be further from the truth. Everyone is miserable and unhappy with themselves and each other. None of the characters are likable, the relationships are not at all believable, the dialog is terrible, the storyline awful awful AWFUL...it is literally the worse movie I've ever seen, and I've watched Sharknado. Like others have said, it's completely clichéd. And it was narrated! The writers also kept throwing as much politically correct stuff they could think of into the mix....negative jabs at Fox News, republicans, God (as in, not only does He not exist, but what blasphemous things can we come up with to say about Him?), gun control, religion, etc. Wait, there was one good thing...there was a super cute dog who would make periodic appearances. Wish he'd gotten more screen time. Wish I could rate this a zero. Wish I could get my money back!

Beautiful Christmas Fairytale. Film is a dynamic, charged emotions. Good directing, rubber, photos ... wonderful dialogs and monologues. Indeed it can be viewed within the family, with all the generations, without fear that your confounded some of the scenes and spoken word. Beautiful love stories of past, present and future time, woven from thin threads of our differences, and sometimes late recognized as full rights love. After all, only when we lose something we consider how much we matter. Although realistically spoken narration, probably because of Christmas images and events, completes this wonderful achievement, which would not ranked in the comedy but in the classic Christmas holiday films. For each recommendation and be sure to watch the!

I think this is one of those movies that you either love or hate. I loved it, my husband hated it. It definitely is a bit of a downer which is why I gave it a 7/10. It's not gonna be a movie that puts you in a holly jolly mood (at least not until the last 15 minutes). So I understand why many people disliked it. But with that said, I found the brutal honesty very charming. It felt real and still managed to have quite a few laughs in the midst of the drama. Very reminiscent of The Family Stone. I think if they hadn't marketed it as a comedy, so that people knew what to expect going in, it would have a better score right now. Something else that I noticed and loved was the way it was filmed. It was very beautifully shot, and there were lots of gorgeous close ups that, to me, made the scenes even better. And I really enjoyed how a few shots were filmed from the perspective of the children as they were running through crowds or stores etc. Very unique and added a little extra something (though maybe I only noticed because I'm a photographer). Probably not something kids will enjoy (there were more than a few in our theater and they didn't seem very interested).

A festive movie about family, about values, about love and everything else. With a little twist at the end if you want to call it that. Other than that it is pretty much by the numbers (predictable that is). But it's a fun movie to watch and it's lovely to see another story about family interactions. If you like that kind of stuff that is. But it's light (drama included of course) and it's fun overall. The acting talent at hand is amazing and it's clear they're having a blast. I guess watching it around Christmas time makes the most sense, but you could also watch it anytime else and still have that good feeling

Read the Washington Post review from Jen Chaney. Here's my thought. This is a pathetic movie that seems to spend the first third introducing the characters in an unconnected hap hazard way. The next third in arguments and turmoil and the last third trying to put perfume on this piece of crap. Bad bad bad! Duane Keaton was a total bore! John Goodman did the best for a payday, and Olivia Wilde's character had the only meaningful interest. This is one of only a few movies that I would walk out on. My wife loves Christmas movies and I sat politely as this thing chugged ever so slowly and painfully along. While the previews show fun and happiness as well as humorous situations the movie had none. If you can manage to stay for the whole thing the wrap at the end sort of brings it all together. But I only had the feeling of what did I just do?

I went to see this film before Christmas and when I saw the trailer for it, I expected it to be a comedy and full of laughs. How wrong I was. I'm not usually the one who leaves the cinema disappointed but on this occasion I was, in fact for the first time ever I was close to walking out before the film had finished it was that depressing but I paid a lot of money to see it so I had to see it through. The plot itself was very confusing on how the characters were connected, it just dragged out too much I just lost focus by the end. Most of the characters on there just argued most of the time throughout the film over stupid things. There was one scene that shocked me the most and it was the Amanda Seyfried character who appeared to have been self harming herself judging by the slash mark on her wrist. That was not something I expect from the Christmas film. I took my sister to see it who is disabled and I often take her to cinemas, lucky she didn't understand what was happening but she later told me she didn't enjoy the film, I made it up to her a few days later and took her to see the Peanuts film which was much better. Christmas used to be a happy time of year but these days it's just all doom and gloom. I don't think I'll ever watch a new Christmas film again, I'll just stick to the old faithfuls. When it comes out onto DVD and Blu Ray next year, don't waste your money on it. Just download from Netflix and see for yourself how awful it is. This is a rare instance where I was actually disappointed when I left the cinema. This is nearly 2 hours of my life I won't be getting back. I will not bother watching it again.

*** This review may contain spoilers *** That was the first movie that put me to sleep. For the first time in my life I wanted to leave the cinema. I went to see a Christmas comedy and saw Christmas tragedy. Such a stupid plot!!! Why all these people should be so sad and depressed?! I get the main idea of all miserable members of this family getting united at the end. BUT i can't understand why is necessary to be such slow and dramatic storyline. The main characters with their 35 years old marrage are going to devorse because they didn't go to Africa. They had so much fights all the time because of that and when the woman said "Ok, let's go to Africa", he said "No, let's stay" Really?!?! The sister Emma... she was at the back seat of the police car for 70 minutes and was having such pathetic conversation with the officer; the movie is 105 minutes! The daughter... why she and the soldier guy were walking around the airport for 50 minuts of the movie, talking so much nonsense? She is so much hurt and couldn't love again, but she has a ralationship with married man and she fall in love with the solider boy in 5 minutes... There is a son that couldn't buy a presents for his kids because he has no money but he is hiding that fact, there are two terrible teenagers making out in every corner, there is this waitress that tried to kill herself because he mother is an alcoholic... This movie killed my Christmas spirit :( The trailer is far away from the real story. People, please don't watch it, it will depress you... P.S. The only nice thing in this movie is the cute dog
