I really think we shouldn't let the Brits try their hand at Christmas movies anymore. Love Actually was different; I'm talking about the Hallmark-style Christmas movies here.
So, I don't expect much from a Christmas movie. I'm here for the beaten-up tropes, the inane nonsequiturs, and even the absolutely nonsensical decision-making done by characters. But I am not here for the absolute cringefest that is British Christmas movies. The horribly unfunny over-the top acting is painful. The storyline is barely there. The poop jokes sure are, though. It's got everything about British humour that I dislike but if that's your thing, then you'll probably love this.
People in the reviews are saying this is a kid's movie. Well, then maybe Netflix should not have suggested it to me based on my entirely non-kids viewing behaviour. But either way, I'd like to think smart kids wouldn't enjoy this either. ;)
