When the
comedy-Christmas movie isn’t a series of outlandish and non-relatable events (you
all know who you are) usually fuelled by booze or bad writing or both, it can
be a wonderful and heart-warming thing. It’s a bit like eggnog; you have to get
the mixture just right, or it will leave a bad taste in your mouth from the
offset. That, or it will just be bland and forgetful. Classics like the Home Alone movies (remind yourself that
there are only two…) and Love Actually remain a lot to live up
to, but that said, each to their own. After all, there are those who love
Christmas Pudding, and there are those who do not. In fact, the same can be said about Christmas itself.
