Surviving Christmas | Blogmas Day 9
Hey Guys x It's Blogmas day 9! I am a huge fan of Ben Affleck, and before Blogmas I didn't know that he was in a Christmas movie, so I got really excited to see it! Then I saw the Rotten Tomatoes rating, and other reviews, and I got less excited... Drew (Ben Affleck) is a wealthy man with no friends or family. When he discovers that he'll be spending Christmas alone, he decides to pay a family to spend the holiday with him. But can money ever buy you happiness? OK, so this film wasn't good. It wasn't the worst Christmas film I've ever seen, but... it was definitely up there. For a start, it completely hits you over the head with Christmas. It forces it down your throat as a way of saying 'This isn't bad. This isn't unrealistic. This makes sense. It's Christmas!', and none of these things are actually true, so it just doesn't work. Speaking of being unrealistic... it's honestly the most unrealistic plot that I've ever...
