Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 4480223, member: 5787"] Lots of family time this week, which means lots of holiday movies. In addition to the classics ([I]Elf [/I]and [I]Home Alone)[/I], I watched two holiday movies for the first time, both were pretty bad. [B]Last Christmas [/B](2019) My mother-in-law hyped this movie up so much we [I]had [/I]to watch it one night. British holiday rom-com written and produced by Emma Thompson, someone who I generally can't stand. Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) is a directionless 30-something who meets Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians), a guy who is non-committal about their relationship until you realize why. It was awful, I don't think I laughed once, no emotion when watching, however I fell asleep about 20 minutes in, giving me a much needed respite from hosting. My one applaud of the movie is Michelle Yeoh, whose character of Clarke's boss was sweet and genuine. Pass. [B]Falling for Christmas [/B](2022 - Netflix) Now, this movie was also a holiday rom-com, but such a bad, formulaic one that its absurdity and poor acting was actually enjoyable. Natural beauty Lindsay Lohan played the recycled role of Goldie Hawn in [I]Overboard[/I] as the rich, vapid luxury ski resort heiress who loses her memory (by falling) and regains her life back thanks to local, family run innkeeper Chord Overstreet (Glee), but prior to her fall Lohan was engaged to a social influencer who is aggressively effeminate. At first, I was like, [I]this is bad[/I], but then after about 30 minutes in, I was like,[I] this is so bad, this is actually funny[/I]. Good movie to watch if you want to try to predict what happens next: you'll probably be right. Recommended if you like stupid movies that don't care if they are stupid. [/QUOTE]
