Excellent
This movie was nothing like what I was expecting... I usually am bored by musicals, remakes of old themes, and Christmas themed movies in general.
This movie is a brilliant mash-up of funny writing, great acting, self aware humor, and honestly fun musical performances. (And yes, I know that sounds like a buzzword list for every overblown movie review ever written. But this is the real deal.) I'm fairly certain that at least 10% of the dialog between the two main characters is ad-libbed by the actors. (That's what you get when you have two a-list comedy actors at the top of their game.) I almost never go see a movie more than once in the theater and I'm trying to find time to do just that with this movie.
Go see this one!! - redbaron-86192 - 31 December 2022
One and Done-cannot watch again
Big fan of all these actors and musicals as well and it took some effort to see this one through to the end. Poorly written, character development and flow were not good and there was too much singing and dancing and the songs were so, so forgettable. Patrick Page was amazing--perfectly casted and with the best voice of the bunch. Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds have charisma; but, sadly not enough to make up all the shortcomings of this film. Perhaps one day someone will be able to remake this tired old classic and do it justice, because it is a tale worth telling and a lesson to be learned; but, sadly this was not that day.
