Anything but Christmas (2012)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Good concept, poorly executed.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

like many others Christmas movies. bitter-sweet, with few trips around dark memories from childhood. and the family as the best cure. modern, for the hypothesis of vulnerable Prince Charming, helped by the wise step son and the powerful Princess. the best part - inspired skill of Sergio Di Zio to propose his character as convincing, realistic and seductive. short, an inspired variation for a generous theme. remembering old small truths and using the fear by Christmas holiday, not so rare in our time, in wise way. so, a nice film. not great, maybe not memorable. but, useful.

Excellent movie! It was light, funny and just what I needed. One of my favorite actors, Sergio Di Zio is in it and was awesome. Elaine Hendrix was in it. She's never been a favorite, but i absolutely adored her in it. The supporting cast was great, too. There was a realistic storyline that was touching and believable, I saved it on my DVR from the first year and watched it throughout the years. Unfortunately, it got erased and I haven't seen it since Christmas. I'm trying to fine a place where I can purchase it, but haven't been able to yet. Any suggestions of where it can be purchased? I'm really needing a Anything But Christmas fix.

I notices the title scroll by on the TV listings and I thought it sounded different. I caught it about a half hour into it and it was at a relatively interesting and exciting point in the plot. Overall I'd say the humour and romance are sort of cheap and cheesy compared to some major films but the spirit and heart of the story are strong. Ultimately the end is the best part in my opinion so don't let the one other review on here turn you away. Somehow I don't think many people will be checking these reviews prior to watching the film because it is one of those TV movies that most people who watch it would he channel surfers like I. Enjoy it of you haven't seen it!

How in the world can this have a 6.3 rating here? It's like watching a TV commercial that just keeps going. I couldn't stomach it past the 20 minute mark. The two lead characters just keep going, minute after minute, being very uptight and taking it out on each other, instead of talking like human beings would.Whoever wrote this script should rethink their profession. This is VERY bad viewing. It's like having an itch and not scratching it, for minute after minute. The movie has to do the scratching; the viewer just watches. But the scratch keeps not coming, and instead we just keep squirming and wishing the itch would STOP already.Ugh.Maybe it improves later, but I just cannot take any more. This is one of the worst movie watching experiences I've ever had.I will say that aside from the AWFUL experience of watching the two leads being uptight, annoying, immature, co-miserable punks, some of the other performances were alright in the short time I saw them. So the movie gets a 2 for that. But that's it. UGH!
