Christmas with the Andersons (2016) - Film Review

I love watching a Christmas film in the afternoon it is always easy watching with a happy conclusion to the movie and normally snow on Christmas Eve ready for the morning and a White Christmas. We see many of these films on the run up to Christmas, cheesy some, but still worth a watch.

Its Christmas and the Andersons are rushing to the hospital, baby birth alert, they just do not make it, but with the help of a cop, twins are born in the back of a van. Jump forward to a Christmas Eve ten years later they have acquired the American dream, wealth, and the big house.

They innocently seem to rub their friend’s noses in their wealth with tacky presents we later learn the parties were a tax right off. The following Christmas things are about to turn when Michael Anderson loses his job just before the holidays and with wife Caroline’s store struggling cash is running out fast. He asks his father for his job back with no luck seems that chasing the mighty dollar does not hold well with dad.

Soon they find out friends are hard to come by but even with the money troubles the wacky Aunt Katie talks Mrs Andersons into having the Christmas party and on top of that, $1m lawsuit drops through the letterbox.

Lawsuit sorted and the family comes together to put on the Anderson Christmas party after the Christmas planner strips the house of its festive feeling after an hold is put on further expenses. The family set about decorating the house and of course, everyone loves it. The film ends where it started with a rush to the hospital for another baby with the cops giving chase.

It a family comedy, loosely, starring Christy Carlson Romano, George Stults and Julie Brown
