Critics aren’t too fond of Netflix’s latest release
better. Christmas. never! It was panned as the “worst” holiday movie of the year. The film has a low rating of 38% on Rotten Tomatoes and 4.4/10 on IMDb. According to Benjamin Lee, a top reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes, the best. Christmas. never! It is “barely even a film, more than a long montage of cuts that never last long enough to be recognized as scenes.”
“It’s a premise that suggests something as salty as it is sweet,” Lee added, but the film, directed by Pet Sematary’s Mary Lambert, is as slushy as a pile of melting snow, refuses to indulge in any pleasant crudeness, and turns the pitch from dark comedy into family thriller. Sick, stuffed with trivial life lessons and bloated children.
Audiences call it “the worst Christmas movie ever made.”
Soon after is better. Christmas. never! Released on Netflix, it grabbed the attention of the audience at first glance. However, some who watched the film were dissatisfied with its plot and general direction. “#BESTCHRISTMASEVER is probably the worst Christmas movie I’ve seen in a long time…” one user wrote on 2 on Netflix lol.
