Gaffigan is able to do a lot with a little, and the comedian is a perfect fit for Ramsey’s gentle cluelessness. He’s effortlessly charismatic in this kind of role, and the arc of his relationship with Christmas is lovely for all the ways it doesn’t fall into easy, empty melodrama. Read full review

Troop Zero is so sugary you’d get a cavity if you bit into it — but it’s also a cozy, satisfying and inspirational underdog tale, featuring a wonderful performance by Mckenna Grace. Read full review

This movie isn’t going to rock anyone’s world, but it’s a sweet little movie with a wholesome message and a good-natured attitude that will almost certainly bring a few smiles to your face. Sometimes, that’s good enough. Read full review

Neither reinvents the wheel nor even attempts to redesign it all that much, but at least it gets where it wants to go, thanks in no small part to the work of Allison Janney, Viola Davis, and young actor Mckenna Grace. Read full review

Davis isn't given a very satisfying backstory to work with, but when has she needed one? The actress strikes a satisfying balance between reluctance and protectiveness. Gaffigan and Janney offer just what their parts in the story need, but Davis keeps it all on the rails. Read full review

It is an innocuous, pleasant enough way to kill a few hours. That’s the worst thing you can say about it. It’s also, alas, the best thing you can say about it as well. Read full review

This is a film with a nice message, about it not mattering if you fit in or not, something that hits home to me.

The characters are fun and its a relatively entertaining film, although there are bullying aspects present in the plot. I thought the cast did a good job and it was a fun, amusing and poignant watch. I can't say I'd heard of 'Hell-No' as a girls first name before, nor 'Christmas' but, there you go - the characters are shown with their quirks and all, such as one character who has an eye patch. It has a nice wholesome pro inclusivity aspect to it and so I'd recommend to others.… Expand
