Overall, I'll say 4 out of 5 Christmas Trees. I don't know that I'd necessarily watch this one again, but it was funny, earnest, and put me in a good mood, while dodging a lot of the pitfalls of the Christmas genre.

Hader and Eickner are both let down by the script, but Kendrick does amazing as an oblivious merry elf dream girl, and Kingsley Ben-Adir does a great job as the male lead, somehow WITHOUT being a love interest
In the end, Kendrick finds happiness in her own successes rather than cloying cishet love

Kendrick is the late-Santa Claus's daughter, who was told she'd never be Santa Claus because she's a girl (yes, Santa Claus is a misogynist and also dead)
When her useless brother, the new Santa, flees, leaving Anna to take the blame, she has to go to the hellscape of Phoenix, Arizona to find him

This movie pretends to ask the question "What if Santa Claus was a girl?" but instead ends up asking "What if Will Ferrell's Elf starred Anna Kendrick?"
Also Billy Eickner is there, something I assume both Billy Eickner and the director forgot about

I'll say it: 4 out of 5 Christmas trees. This movie has everything: the feeling of bonding with your found family at Christmas, a drug dealer ascending to heaven, James Franco's cock.
I could legitimately see myself watching this movie again next year, and that's the 4 tree standard

Also, let me just say, if you're nostalgic for the pre-Trump years, this movie is the most 2015 thing I've ever seen. It's filled with comedians you probably haven't thought about in a decade, it's funny, and it captures the relatable feeling of drifting away from your friends as you get older

We needed a pallette cleanser after two days of Lifetime, and this was certainly a change of pace.
Look, I'm just gonna be upfront here: I like this movie. I think it's underrated and doesn't deserve it's bad reviews.
It's not amazing or ground breaking, but it's a fun Christmas comedy

1 of 5 Christmas trees. At least it's a Christmas movie, but the film fails to live up to its own premise, and it all just sort of falls apart into this vaguely jolly mush of Lifetime nonsense

Act 2 and 3 are a jumbled mess of so many plotlines that the writers just forget about the magic powers and the "I want..." Compulsion just stops happening halfway through the movie.
Something about traditional Christmas music, something about truth and lies, something about corporate art...

Act 1 of this movie is INCREDIBLE. Just this absurdist depiction of this woman having the most useless superpower of all time. Girl goes mildly insane and Boy tries his hardest to fight the holiday compulsion and fails so he gets her to help him find out what his enby-coded son wants for Christmas

Girl is single and gets fired for "speaking her truth" too much, and makes a wish on an ugly crystal tree ornament. The next morning, people start saying what they want for Christmas to her.
Like, anytime anyone says the words "I want..." to her they lose control of themselves

2 out of 5 Christmas Trees. A Sudden Case of Christmas was objectively better shot, written, and performed, but at least this one took place DURING Christmas. It was the entertaining kind of bad, at the very least.

OKAY the movie never SAYS Girl burned down Boy's bakery in the middle of the night because he stole her grandmother's hot chocolate recipe, but... Just trust me, okay.
She's an arsonist. Merry Christmas.

At least this one takes place in Christmas time. Girl runs a cafe that is weirdly focused on her grandmother's hot chocolate recipe, Boy opens a bakery that's also weirdly focused on hot chocolate that tastes THE SAME as Girl's. Hijinks ensue.
By hijinks, I mean arson.

I rate this movie 0 out of 5 Christmas Trees, because it's not a Christmas movie. It's just pretending to be one.

Annie MacDowell carries this movie's C-plot, Wilmer Valderama and Lucy DeVito are even less present than Danny is
Also, before you ask, yes there's a C-plot. I'd actually argue it goes as deep as a D-plot, at least.
Apparently this is a remake of an Italian film from... 2022? Weird.

Do you want a Christmas movie that takes place in the Italian countryside in mid-summer?
No?
Does four separate plots about people cheating on each other help?
No?
Well Danny DeVito is there. He doesn't have any jokes or anything, but he's certainly there. So there's that.
