Lisa B @Lisa4389 1 day ago The chemistry between the leads was great and the story, while a little cliché, was interesting enough to carry it along. It was an enjoyable movie. See more Igor S @Igor_Sena Aug 30, 2026 I usually like Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron, but this movie was boring and lifeless. Not only that, there was zero chemistry between everyone involved. It's actually ironic that in the movie, Zac Efron's character was struggling with having to act on a movie that had an awful script, because this is exactly the same situation. See more Lisa O @LisaJaneO May 18, 2026 So disappointing. I had to turn it off after 30 minutes as the chemistry between Nicole Kidman and Zac Effron was cringe-worthy; lacklustre and lacking in facial expressions. Give this a big swerve. See more Sheree B @SBrea May 16, 2026 I couldn't make it to the end of this horrifically boring film. Kathy Bates is totally wasted on this project. She deserves better. Kidman and Zacron's plastic, frozen faces had me screwing up my face awkwardly, just bizarre to watch and Kidman's awful wig was atrocious; it distracted from the film (which is probably a good thing in retrospect, as the film was worse than a bad wig). I find it hard to believe someone wrote this, someone else approved it, people agreed to act in it, and it was released. Don't bother. See more James T @nyccowboy Apr 12, 2026 Like the curate's egg, this pic is very good, in parts. King's analysis of the terrible Santa Claus script is funny enough for me to consider adapting it into an audition piece for myself. Kidman and Ephron achieve such infectious hilarity in their getting-to-know-you foreplay that I'm sad the rest of the movie doesn't attempt to delve into that kind of personal detail. But it doesn't. I doubt the budget and schedule would have allowed for such work. Bates doesn't have much to do, but she does the hell out of it. The rest of the flick is no better than it should be. See more Kait J @Kait.elizabeth87 Mar 29, 2026 Okay okay I get it, I really didn't have high hopes for this movie but from the start I was literally laughing out loud. The first kiss scene with Zac and Nicole gave me serious second hand embarrassment, I skipped the scene at first but went back to rewatch like 30 seconds later. Once you get through that it's actually really good. I watched without my phone in hand and locked in. I mean I did take a 1:1 CBD/THC gummie so maybe this is that talking but it was funny. Joey King's acting in this was so good. Comedic timing on point and her facial expressions were the best. She was the star in this with her dialog and being a fan favorite. Saying that with Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron also starting is no joke. I was surprised with how satisfied and happy I was when it ended. Wish we could see the bloopers! See more Read all reviews
