Love the Coopers

It's a terrible waste of talent. Bah, humbug.

A bunch of A-listers plays out a string of intertwining plot threads, all in search of a heavily eggnogged family hug.

Love the Coopers sets itself up to explore some interesting if not original questions, but it baulks at probing too deep and instead retreats into schmaltz.

The most debilitating thing about this whole soggy mince pie of a picture is that it's narrated by a dog.

The biggest disappointment is the waste of such an excellent cast. This is terminally treacly fare in which the writing is often very trite indeed.

[A] steaming yule log of a movie ...

I don't understand this movie.

It was a mildly enjoyable dumb.

The time spent exploring each character arc is unbalanced, costing exposition and development in some cases, while over-indulging others.

Love the Coopers is a disastrous holiday film, filled with false cheer and contrived drama meant to bring everyone together, but will only drive you away.
