Oh. What. Fun. (2025) 35% EDIT “The sort of upbeat holiday comedy that you can throw on after all of the presents have been opened, and everyone is dozing on the sofa with a beverage of choice while mom prepares Christmas Day dinner.” – Pajiba Dec 16, 2025 Full Review My Secret Santa (2025) 73% EDIT “While the script is, you know, what it is (not much), [Alexandra Breckenridge] is believable and having fun. Which helps us, the audience, have some fun with it along with her.” – Pajiba Dec 15, 2025 Full Review Joy to the World (2025) EDIT “Joy To The World sounded like a fun concept and featured Chad Michael Murray, who gave us a good time in last year’s Merry Gentlemen. But it also fell flat due to a lack of commitment to the bit.” – Pajiba Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Jingle Bell Heist (2025) 75% EDIT “The time I spent watching Jingle Bell Heist is time I’ll never get back. The pacing is slow, which kills the jokes and sight gags. And there is no chemistry between Holt and Swindells, which kills the vague romantic aspect of their relationship.” – Pajiba Dec 12, 2025 Full Review A Very Jonas Christmas Movie (2025) 87% EDIT “It’s not A Hard Day’s Night, but the Jonas Brothers have been performing for a long time. They have natural chemistry together, and they’re very comfortable on camera. ” – Pajiba Nov 26, 2025 Full Review A Merry Little Ex-Mas (2025) 56% EDIT “I guess the rules of Christmas movies don’t allow that sort of growth. In Christmas Movie Land, small towns are the best towns, where all of your dreams come true as long as they aren’t too big.” – Pajiba Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Champagne Problems (2025) 72% EDIT “You can argue that it’s just a silly Netflix rom-com that I should not be watching for authenticity. But as an actor, all you’ve got is authenticity. If I don’t believe what you’re saying or how you’re reacting, what’s the point?” – Pajiba Nov 25, 2025 Full Review The Thursday Murder Club (2025) 77% EDIT “It’s a breather. Get yourself a slice of cake, pour a cup of tea, and take a couple of hours off from the world burning.” – Pajiba Aug 29, 2025 Full Review La Dolce Villa (2025) 75% EDIT “La Dolce Villa is a not unpleasant way to spend an hour and a half with Scott Foley and dreaming about living in an Italian villa. It’s no Merry Gentlemen, but it will keep you company while you cook up a nice pasta e fagoli.” – Pajiba Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Our Little Secret (2024) 37% EDIT “Our Little Secret squanders Kristin Chenoweth’s considerable comedic talent and refuses to reward our viewing by giving her and Lohan significant screentime together.” – Pajiba Dec 3, 2024 Full Review The Merry Gentlemen (2024) 39% EDIT “The story... is rushed and unoriginal to the point where I knew what the characters were going to say before they did. There’s also an underlying cynicism to the movie that made it difficult to sit back and enjoy it as a guilty pleasure.” – Pajiba Nov 25, 2024 Full Review Hot Frosty (2024) 76% EDIT “It’s dumb, but it’s funny. It’s sweet and a little sexy, and everyone in it knew exactly what movie they were making.” – Pajiba Nov 25, 2024 Full Review Brats (2024) 85% EDIT “I enjoyed Brats because the soundtrack is killer and The Brat Pack is my Roman Empire. Thirty-plus years later, the movies still resonate because they present teens as fully realized human beings with complex internal lives. ” – Pajiba Jun 17, 2024 Full Review The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022) 94% EDIT “Kevin Bacon brings a high level of manic energy into the show, matching Drax and Mantis’ brand of insanity as they navigate Christmas-themed Earthling culture. But the standout in this special is the soundtrack.” – Pajiba Nov 29, 2022 Full Review Heathers: The Musical (2022) 82% EDIT “If you’re a fan of Heathers, the seminal 1988 film, written and directed by first-timers Daniel Waters and Michael Lehmann, you will be disappointed. Or mad. Or both.” – Pajiba Sep 20, 2022 Full Review White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch (2022) 66% EDIT “It’s a quick little film, with a good soundtrack and if you have any interest in marketing or fashion, you’ll probably enjoy it.” – Pajiba Apr 26, 2022 Full Review Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off (2022) 96% EDIT “Director Sam Jones and Executive Producers The Duplass Brothers have created a dry but illuminating dive into the skateboard innovator’s life and the legendary Bones Brigade era of skateboarding. ” – Pajiba Apr 8, 2022 Full Review Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts (2022) 93% EDIT “This reunion showed us that The Kids Are Alright. They are actors and activists, parents, and storytellers. They all look back on their time at Hogwarts with the same amount of fondness and joy as the fans do.” – Pajiba Jan 6, 2022 Full Review Val (2021) 93% EDIT “This raw, wildly original, and unflinching documentary reveals a life lived to extremes and a heart-filled, sometimes hilarious look at what it means to be an artist and a complex man.” – Pajiba Jul 7, 2021 Full Review
