How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A holiday comedy about a woman trying to salvage one last perfect Christmas with her splintering family, only to have her ex show up with his new girlfriend. It's the kind of warm, awkward chaos that Christmas promises to deliver.

Oliver Hudson and Alicia Silverstone deserve better, but also there seems to be a pretty healthy market for Hallmarkesque Christmas movies, so maybe this was an okay payday for them.

I respect the people who really love watching these cheesy holiday movies each year, and I'm happy that they're happy and having fun. I just can't get there. If Oliver Hudson can't get me there, no one can get me there. I'd still rather watch this than Polar Express though. I hate Polar Express.
