Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to watch a new movie each day.
I wish it could be Christmas every day, but not if it meant I ever had to watch this crap again.
Today’s flick comes with one of the best tag lines I’ve ever seen on a poster.
Once again, thanks Netflix. (Other streaming services are available)
It’s actually quite tricky to write extensively about a film you have no real feelings about one way or the other.
There is no earthly reason for me not having seen this flick before now.
Everything you’ve heard is true.
I stumbled across today’s flick entirely by accident (thanks Lovefilm), but the topicality cannot be denied. In the wake of this week’s Presidential election, let’s see what happens when Hollywood throws two legendary comedic actors into the fray.
One of my favourite comedies of all time is The Dish, an Australian film from 2000 all about the radio observatory at Parkes that received the video signal of the Apollo 11 moon landing. That modern classic was the second feature by the writing and producing team headed by director Rob Sitch. This was the first.
