Father Christmas Is Back

Awful film, terrible acting, the gags were bad and the main characters were just annoying. Don't waste your time watching this , this is by far one of the worst Christmas movies I have ever seen .

From the 1st scene, this was the absolute WORST movie I've watched in a long time. Trite, predictable, cliché, not funny at all. Acting was abysmal, which is sad for some of the more well-known actors in it. The character Caroline, played by Nathalie Cox, is annoying from the 1st scene; the squeaking and over-acting is obnoxious throughout the movie. April Bowlby's character, Jackie, was equally annoying as a dim-witted but well-meaning younger girlfriend/fianceé of Kelsey Grammer's character. Kris Marshall, who normally plays an adorable goof, played more of the straight man as Caroline's husband and the only tolerable role besides Kelsey Grammer. It took all of me to watch this movie until the end. SO. VERY. BAD.

I cannot believe I'm supposed to consider this to be a real film and not a parody. I can suspend disbelief for most things, and Caroline Quentin being Liz Hurley's mother when there's a five year age gap I could almost overlook- but Liz Hurley being pregnant took it too far. As good as she looks 56 is a little old to be playing roles where the single woman finds out she's having her first baby. Aside from that it's overacted and the script a waste of otherwise reasonable acting talent.
