I swear this movie exists… though I also swear you shouldn’t try to prove it. But it popped up on (HBO) Max a couple weeks ago and I watched about half of it, groaning the whole way. When I checked … Continue reading
As far as holiday movies go, Christmas As Usual is one of the most singularly unpleasant ones I’ve watched. It’s ostensibly a culture clash rom-com where a Norwegian girl and Indian guy living in Los Angeles get engaged and head … Continue reading
It’s never a good sign when you wave your hands angrily at the tv screen and demand to know why a movie is still going. And that’s exactly what I did… on multiple occasions… while watching this Christmas flick. Candy … Continue reading
