Christmas vs. The Walters

I saw this last night with my boyfriend. It was such an enjoyable date night, movie was funny yes but it had such a great message of family. I haven't seen my extended family in 2 years du to covid - can't wait to drive to Kansas City this holiday - must check it out in theaters or on demand when it comes out.

I just watched this film and was thoroughly impressed. I went into it expecting a lifetime movie of the week. Instead, I found a character driven story about a woman juggling motherhood while wrestling her own insecurities. The movie had plenty of heart and left you with a feeling that only a Christmas movie can. The acting was strong, too, especially the girl who played the daughter.

The ratings are all over the place for this film maybe its a love hate type of thing -- I actually rented this on cable with my wife thinking its was a comedy, its not a comedy but it has some funny moments but the drama side caught me for surprise. My wife loved it and that was all I could ask for. I am a big Chris Elliott Fan -- love everything he does, it was a different role for him but it worked and the family grew on me as well. It isn't the fastest moving film out there and not too much of XMAS glitz but it has a really good message if you pay attention to it. I give it a great effort for trying to be its own thing and not pump out the same man + girl falling in love type story on Lifetime. It was something I could actually watch and tell people at work what I did. Dog was cute too.

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.

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.
