JUST ANOTHER CHRISTMAS – I’ve decided that it’s hard to find good Christmas films, and this one is no exception. Think of it as a holiday Ground Hog Day minus the talent of Bill Murray. Christmas day repeats, and repeats and repeats for the main character who somehow doesn’t remember the rest of the year, but awakes each Christmas day for years, and years and years and only remembers past Christmases. Confused yet? Me too. Though I grow fatigued at all the repetition. There is nothing endearing about this picture. Filmed in Portuguese and dubbed in English, the lead actor is way over the top. Even in poignant scenes he is unable to deliver a convincing performance. The dialogue is forced and it feels like the film is desperately trying to force us into emotional reactions we aren’t having. None of the lessons the lead is supposed to have learned by the end which provide the inevitable reset of his life matter to us, and we don’t believe they truly matter to him. Skip it!
