Film review ·
Technically, the film is moderately mounted with humour in limited and mediocre quotient. And overall, the film's premise is so akin to the recently released Bad Moms Christmas.
Film review ·
Starring two convicts (Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson), one tragically unfunny Will Ferrell, for zero stars. Categorically the worst film of the year.
Film review ·
There are some laughs, especially courtesy Ferrell with Lithgow and Ferrell with Wahlberg, while Gibson plays the same brash alpha-male he made a career out of, but ultimately the jokes, plot lines and characters are all derivative of much better productions that lack the moral ambiguity of this particular film. There are frequent allusions to our modern obsession with technology and social media, a la Black Mirror, and the usual product placement of gifting ideas that punctuate films that release this time of the year.
