A Clüsterfünke Christmas
A genuinely funny satire
This does for Hallmark Christmas movies what Airplane! Did for Airport. The writing is smart, and the cast is perfect, hitting just the right notes between sincerity and satire as they spoof the cliches of the genre. Bonus points for some very funny double entendres - and for making fun of their own product placement.
A parody of all those Hallmark, Lifetime...Christmas movies.
It's an MTV spoof on the formulaic and sometimes sickly sweet holiday films. This is actually better written than many of the holiday films and the acting is good. Imagine a town where coffee isn't available only hot cocoa, that' the fictional Yuletide, Maine.
There are a lot of double entendres, like the game they call cornholing between Cheyenne Jackson's character and Ryan McPartlin's character that involves tossing fruitcakes at a hole like a bean bag toss. I'd like to see more parody holiday films, hope there are more next year.
Hope the cast had as much fun making it as I had watching it.
