I remember I went in to this blind when it was released because of a radio appearances by Paul Giamatti and some fascinating stories he told. It is a lot more thoughtful than the “Christmas comedy” tag would suggest and is full of amazing characters.
I’d welcome any recommendations from the community too if you have any favourite festive movies.
It was fine and enjoyable, but I don’t understand why it gets such high praise. And I don’t think I’d go out of my way to watch it again.
What am I missing?
Maybe it’s just not for you?
It doesn’t have an impressively high rating or anything so you are in the majority but it was my favourite film last year.
