Anthony M @amannuc May 22 This was a touching movie. I really enjoyed it. I watched it on a flight to Rome from the US. It was apparently made for the Italian market although it is in English. While it's clearly not a high budget movie, it was thoughtfully written and it has a nice message. If you've ever thought about families, marriage, relationships and kids, this movie has a message for you. The performances are very good to excellent.

Spoilers: The parents were going to get divorced until they found out they just didn’t fight enough, and then once they fight more, everything’s good? Doubt it. Also, both parents are jobless by the end and the dad assaults the mom’s old boss who somehow shows up in Italy. One grandpa remains a sad widower, and the other grandpa is a man child who locks himself in the hotel room for the whole movie because he can’t tell his wife the truth that he cheated on her and then he runs off with some lady he had a one night stand with a decade ago (because of true love *eye roll*). The grandma is perfectly fine with him running off with another woman, and becomes friends with the mistress?? Ain’t no way. This is just some cheating guy’s fantasy made into a movie. Oh, and the little girl gets a puppy. See more Jackson M @Nshvlleindie Nov 10 Utterly insane. The stuff that someone thought should be in a Christmas movie is wildly schizophrenic. Pass, pass, pass. See more SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch 06/14/2025 A Sudden Case of Christmas, starring Danny DeVito and Andy MacDowell, is a charming holiday film about a family reconnecting under one roof. The dad (DeVito) owns a hotel and wants everyone together for Christmas, not realizing his daughter and her husband are on the verge of separation. They want him to break the news to his granddaughter because of their close bond. The story is cute and fun — a creative twist on a classic holiday setup — and it highlights the power of family and reconciliation. It shows how love can bring people back together and help them realize what matters most. This isn’t a film I’d rush to watch over and over, but if it popped up on my feed again, I’d gladly watch it a second time. The direction is strong, the writing is creative enough to keep you engaged, and Danny DeVito is, as always, a highlight. His performance adds a spark to the film, and Andy MacDowell is effortlessly charming and beautiful in her role. Overall, A Sudden Case of Christmas is a sweet holiday watch — not a masterpiece, but a warm, enjoyable film that brings a bit of festive magic.

Not every movie has to have unrealistic stories. Marital issues are real and the message was clear. Put everything aside and celebrate Christmas with your family! Danny Devito, the adorable little girl and a very cute puppy! You cannot go wrong! See more Read all reviews
