It’s the Christmas movie Krampus would be proud of. A real turkey! Not even John Cleese can raise a smile in this movie equivalent of a Brussel sprout.

A movie with John Cleese and Elizabeth Hurley should at least make me smile: it's bad and the jokes are very weird and outdated.

Ooft - this is bad. For the first 30 minutes, all of the characters are unlikable, and that continues mainly for the 3 core sisters (because the thesis writing lesbian 4th sister is barely around to add anything). The film swings hard in act 2 to course correct the sisters into likable characters - completely contradicting their previous characteristics. The direction is really poor, from literally the actor title cards. Too many close-ups on Nathalie Cox's face at weird moments. There's no gel here. Act 3 isn't too bad and some of the characters redeem themselves by then, but it's too little, too late.

From Netflix comes the British holiday comedy Father Christmas is Back. The Christmas family (yes, their family name is actually “Christmas”) is in for a surprise this Christmas when their estranged father, who walked out on the family 27-years ago, returns with his new girlfriend. Featuring Kelsey Grammer, Elizabeth Hurley, April Bowlby, and John Cleese, the cast is pretty decent; though the performances are rather middling. And the writing is weak, with underdeveloped characters and the thinnest of plots. Still, some of the comedy works and there are a few touching moments. Father Christmas is Back is a superficial and uninspired film that just seems to be going through the motions.
