The Critic and the Cynic

2024 Christmas Films - Week 6


Listen Later

Dave (The Critic) and Hilary (The Cynic) return for week six of their holiday watch-a-thon, diving into another batch of festive (and sometimes regrettable) holiday films. This week, the duo takes on five Christmas movies, bracing for adventure, comedy, and chaos. From archaeological treasure hunts in Iceland to a Hallmark star’s magical mishaps, these reviews are filled with laughs, sighs, and plenty of fiery debates.

🎥 Movies Reviewed This Week:
•The Christmas Quest (Hallmark): Think National Treasure, but with Yule Lads.
•That Christmas (Netflix): An animated tale that aims big but lands…somewhere else.
•Private Princess Christmas (Hallmark): A royal mess, complete with goats and Christmas trees.
•Sugarplummed (Hallmark): A self-aware romp that gives Christmas magic a playful twist.
•Leah’s Perfect Gift (Hallmark): A sweet, culture-clashing holiday journey.

🔍 Highlights Include:
•Dave vs. Hilary: Is The Christmas Quest a charming adventure or just holiday filler?
•An animated flop? Why That Christmas left us wanting more (or less).
•Hallmark at its strangest: Goats, princesses, and why Private Princess Christmas wins the “What were they thinking?” award.
•The unexpected wit of Sugarplummed: Elf meets Hallmark in a tongue-in-cheek comedy.
•Leah’s Perfect Gift: A quiet charmer or an underwhelming clash of traditions?

Grab your cocoa, join the fun, and brace yourself for Dave and Hilary’s takes. Whether you love holiday movies or just love hearing them get roasted, this episode is your perfect holiday companion. 🎄🎁
