What is it with all these chick flick movies having the girl trying to get with a guy who is already engaged or dating someone? Why the fuck would any woman want a man who would readily dump someone he was dating for a long time and about to marry for someone he just fucking met!? How could such shallow relationships ever be considered romantic!?

It's so weird how lifetime and hallmark fetishize widowers. Like, "Mm, your wife died and you can never love again? Your grief is such a turn on."

"And he's a fucking cannibal'" I love you Brad

This movie's protagonist is what every crazy home wrecker thinks they are IRL.

My god, it's like the writers of this movie were trying to adapt the song "Every Breathe You Take" by Police and completely miss the subtext that it was a stalker song.

Plot twist; the mom and dad really didn't go on vacation - they just set up a green screen to avoid their sociopath of a daughter and have a happy Christmas for once.

So lemme get this straight: this is a movie about a spoiled rich brat who intercepts a kid's wish list and decides to stalk/break a perfectly functional family while villifying a woman who has done nothing wrong??? How is that charming?!

Last week I was watching an 80s psychological horror thriller about a guy who secretly hides in a family's attic and he was a much more likable and sympathetic character than this lady.

Let's see. The protagonist commits a federal crime and then proceeds to stalk a guy and his daughter, who conveniently have a dead wife/mother, and is engaged, and then inserts herself into their lives, breaking up the guy's relationship with his fiance and ruining his fiance's relationship with the guy's daughter. And Lifetime expects us to think that this is romantic. Really???

The gay sterotype could of been done right if around the end they made this joke, Kristel says something about him being gay, and then the gay best friend said "what?! I'm not gay!" "you-you're not?" No!" "But the way you a.." "oh, so Just BECAUSE I WEAR PINK.." and then he went off crying, and never showed up in the movie again

Taken from the girlfriends perspective this is a very dark and fucked tale about a psycho trying to break up a family

The writer was pretty much like. "How can I make the plot of "Fatal Attraction" romantic? and failed miserably.

I'd like to think that Fat Grandma didn't actually catch Hitler, but some random thief with a toothbrush moustache she mistook as Hitler.

I just lost it with the "cameo" line. For some reason I just love seeing the NC's dad on videos.

Isn't it a federal offense to read a letter that isn't addressed to you?

So the moral of the story is that the key to true love is lying, stalking and manipulation. And only do nice things if you get some kind of reward for yourself. God bless us everyone!!!

the only Real flaw you could argue Jillian had was she cared for the guy during his grief purely to be his next wife at some point - and even then thats not fully implied outside of Crystals "that makes two of us" line about lying... even then that just means the guy shouldn't be with either woman!

Wait, when do I get my magical gay advice powers? Am... am I broken? Am I a defective homosexual? No, it can't be! AUUUUUUGGHHHH! *brandishes an axe and runs down the street*

Brad saying "Have you seen the porn i watch? I never get off easy" filled me with Christmas spirit.

Doug and Brad together are like peanut butter and jelly.

*psst* you said the kid asked for a "new dad" in her letter to santa

It's NOT a Cinema Snob Christmas without Fat Gramma! And... Santa Christ?

Was it really that hard to make a likable lead and making the girlfriend unlivable. Like, they couldn't provide actual evidence of her being awful? She couldn't have been cheating on him, or maybe emotionally unstable or at least mean to the daughter? DO THEY REALLY NOT KNOW WHAT MAKES SOMEONE A TERRIBLE PERSON?

"I think he's straight" ... "And he's a cannibal" Omg I think I just had a fucking heartattack XD

This movie is like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, but bad and during Christmas and not a musical.

16:16 HOLY SHIT, what a horrible thing to say. Did the writers think this garbage human was actually likeable?

That creepy music never fails to get a chuckle out of me

The movie starts with an grown woman that has never worked a day in her life being financially cut-off by her rich parents in order to get her to find a husband? When the hell was this written? I'm pretty sure there are stories in the original "Arabian Nights" that have a more progressive attitude towards women.

This movie is about a woman whose heart is so big it's her weakness. Gillian, who works at a soup kitchen and helps the homeless because it's just what she does, is in tragic denial about what an emotionally abusive bastard her boyfriend is, and blames everyone but him for the fact that he's cheating on her with a sociopath. I hope Gillian drove off at the end because she realized that she deserved better than this crowd of fuck-nuggets and went to find decent humans like herself to interact with. Anyway, great review! I always love crossovers. And a Fat Grandma/Santa Christ relationship! Why did no one think of that before?!

Crystal not only gets involved with this family because she stalked them, but takes it further by having an inappropriate relationship with a child via the two conspiring against the dad's girlfriend. The lady knows no boundaries.

The most puzzling thing is that Dear Santa is currently free on KZfaq, and if you look at the comments, they're all talking about how it's a heartwarming, feel-good Christmas movie with great characters and an uplifting message. Did Pete write all the comments himself?

I'm surprised this movie wasn't written by James E. Reilly (the dimwit who was behind the soap opera Passions). The stalker in this film bares a striking resemblance to Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald - a young woman who, after receiving a teddy bear from the son of wealthy socialites, became so obsessed with the boy that she grew up believing that they were meant to be together - so, went through a ridiculous amount of plots, manipulations and lies in order to make him break up with his fiancee, disown the only family her knew, just so he'd marry her instead. And, it worked. The series ended with Theresa marrying him - her final message to the audience (I kid you not - she broke the fourth wall to address the audience) was to never give up on your dreams/follow your passions in order to get what you want. It was a royally fucked up - even for a soap opera.

Jillian is the real victim here. She deserves so much better.

Why did they have to film the mom in front of a greenscreen? If she's only on videochat, clearly on a laptop, why wouldn't she just be in a hotel room? It would make much more sense and look better.

Even with Doug and Brad riffing on it this movie was painful...

Santa Christ hooking up with Fat Grandma? Brian coming out of the closet? Is this a Channel Awesome fan fiction episode?

"No, I meant FUCKING. I clearly got that scene wrong!"

I haveta agree with Doug and Brad, the girlfriend isn't perfect, but obviously cares about the male lead. To top it off, Amy Acker, who I love as an actress, isn't being a perfect mom, she's a goddamn enabler, agreeing with whatever the kid says. Oh my dad's girlfriend is a bitch...YUP she is, let's take her out. The kid doesn't want a mom, she wants someone who will take her side. Let's see if dear old dad likes the new replacement when the kid is 15 and wants to date a guy named Roughneck with a face tattoo who's 23 and the new moms ok with it cause, d'oh the kid is always right about snap character judgements.

What is with all these movies that think it is OK to break up relationships because "we should be together" Here is an easy fix. Get rid of the Jillian character and make the movie about the dad not being able to move on from his dead wife. Then get rid of ALL the stalker elements and instead replace it with a woman who starts working at the soup kitchen for ethical reasons. The two can have a budding relationship and in the end they get together. You can keep most of the other plots around and it is a movie with likable characters that you root for. SHOCKING CONCEPT.

Jillian was right to be suspicious of Derrick 1.) He was emotionally cheating on her, like the whole movie and 2.) Who wouldn’t be upset that your boyfriend spent the night with a woman he knew for 3 days and didn’t even have the curtesy to call and inform you of the situation beforehand

Wow, this is just Stereotype after Stereotype, I'm surprised that this wasn't made by PureFlix

"Bear-ian, huh?" "I write drunk." milk came out of my nose.

As someone with a laugh like is Hyena-like, I find it very offensive that this movie uses that as a way to say that Jillian is bad or unfit to be with Derek.

Say what you will about Disney’s “Enchanted”, but at least the screenwriter for that film didn’t make Nancy Tremaine *“cartoonishly evil”* in order to justify her fiancé Robert choosing Giselle over her. In any other movie, Giselle would come across as flighty and mentally unstable, and Nancy would be the sane one. However in “Enchanted”, they don’t vilify Nancy in order to boost Giselle up. Instead they make Nancy a nice woman who doesn’t see Giselle as her “enemy”, as well as having her *graciously* accept the fact that Robert is in love with Giselle, not her.

There was a either a Lifetime or Hallmark Christmas movie some years ago call “All I Want For Christmas” (not to be confused with the 1991 movie with Thora Birch and Ethan Embry) that had a very similar plot. Only in that one, The villain to me was the kid. He was a real brat who was constantly dumping on his moms perfectly nice fiancé, just because he was rich.

I was expecting a different Fatal Attraction reference whenever the creepy music comes up. "I'm not gonna be IGNORED, Dan!"

I died laughing when gay!Brian saw Sarah sitting there crying and got all happy.

I love Linkara's Fat-Granny character

I will always come back to this episode simply for Sarah’s cry. Always gets a good laugh, and I quote “for Murder.” too often.

This review had me dying, "Bear-ian??? I write when I'm drunk" 😂😂😂

What a terrible movie. Why is this kind of story a thing? I can get the basic idea of her rich parents wanting their daughter to do something with her life and thus giving her a push. Although in reality I think the kid would presume they are blushing since even rich parents wouldn't actually toss their kid into the street. Maybe if the threat was to seriously cut back her money to survivable but not enjoyable levels that might work. Anyways...just why? Why would anyone think it is a smart and clever idea to have someone who basically is only acting for their own benefit try to ruin other relationships? They don't even go an intelligent route and have the other woman be a terrible person. She's just a decent person who gets a happy relationship ruined because...she's not the main character. Hell why not just have him be a single father? Why does there even have to be another person to demonize? Oh well I guess the cold comfort is that relationship is doomed. Any idiot who gets involved with this girl will quickly realize how badly he messed up.

Well, at least it doesn't have an entire school watch a snuff film.

"Santa Christ brings all the HO HO HOES to the yard" really needs to be on a shirt or something

Headcanon: this is a brainwashed Illyria from Angel: the Series, and this is one of those happy little hell dimensions from season 5 where you go into the basement and get tortured every night...

I know Lifetime gets a lot of shit for rewarding pettiness and shit like that, but I never imagined it actually got this bad ._.Oh yeah, and Snob, any chance of the Christmas Shoes movie getting a similar treatment?

I got a snow day, some beer, and there's a Snob/Critic crossover. It's a good birthday.

lol "you're not getting off that easy" "have you ever seen the pornos I watch? I never get off easy" that fucking killed me for real. rest in peace, me

I'm frightened by anyone who'd identify with the "protagonist" or find this movie compelling.

A Cinema Snob and Nostalgia Critic cross-over? It's a Festivus Day miracle!

Oh God, I remember the other day I was visiting my parents and I saw the "plowing" scene. I honestly couldn't believe it. I was disappointed she didn't end up breaking the plow causing him to get mad and throw her out of the truck.

I think SantaCrist is the best character ever created.

"AND HE'S A FUCKING CANNIBAL!" Fuck me that was funny. XD

So in order to find love.. all I had to do was stalk someone who lost their wife and grow a bond with their child in 3 days and try to ruining their relationship with someone they've dated for years

yay Lloyd had a kitty cameo...too adorable!

You know, just once I'd like to see a movie like this where the protagonist DOESN'T get their love interest because as part of their character development they realize that their romantic rival is the better person for their love interest.

Why am I suddenly shipping Santa Christ and Fat Grandma? This isn't my weirdest ship, mind you.

Love when these 2 do a review together 🤣

Doug's father is so precious.

Critic and Snob are at their best when they work together.

I would pay all the money to watch a film that follows cliches like this film does... except it has some sense and by the end the "hero" is truly shown to be an asshole and the "bitchy" girlfriend is given a break.

I love when the NC and the snob get together! I enjoy the way all of channel awesome does their collaborations.

This is Crazy Ex-Girlfriend if it had no self-awareness.

Wait if the Cinema Snob take place in Fat Grandma's stories does that mean every other Channel Awesome reviewer take place in Fat Grandma's head?

I don't know what's worse: not having any rational characters in real-life situations and environments (Drop Dead Fred comes to mind) OR having at least one perfectly reasonable character and no one listens to them...

Brian needs to work on his foppishness. I give his performance 5 silk neckerchiefs out of 10.

"Shuttin' off the sex pipe" The Snob writing really shines through.

Linkara, NC, and cinema snob fuck yeah.

The two women seriously look like the same person... Just one with neater hair, and the other...different....

Scenes with Brian and Sarah - how often did they crack each other up?

This'd be a different kind of Lifetime movie if the genders were flipped.

Jason Priestly often shows up on in my dreams, usually riding on top of Meg Ryan and Lauren Holly in a two-person horse costume accompanied by the theme to Perfect Strangers as played on guitar by Jonathan Taylor Thomas dressed as Prince. I have very awesome dreams.

Snob, NC, Fat Grandma, Santa Christ AND Chester in the same video!? It really IS Christmas!

Apparently to Lifetime, being a stalking homewrecker who only helps the homeless to get a man's attention rather than actually give a helping hand is A-ok as long as she's 'quirky!1!!'

I love it when these two get together 😁😁😁😁

You guys are a riot whenever you team up. Be awesome if you two did more crossover reviews.

They might as well play "ever breathe you take" for the theme of this movie

Seriously, who in their right mind would consider this movie charming? It's creepy as hell, and yeah, that creepy music fits perfectly. Also, Brad and Doug collaborating, what else to say but: PERFECT. By the way, I think I saw a plot hole in the review. The Snob said that gay man and pre-teen girl aren't the same thing, yet he was surprised at the end when he realized Pete was gay. Maybe it was because of Fat Grandma? Nonetheless, funny review.

you know a movie is bad when the offensive stereotype is the most likeable character

"Try and catch me. I''m a cat now. MEOWSERS!" XD

Why is Jillian the antagonist, and crystal the protagonist

Remember, it's okay for women to stalk men, but heaven forbid a man stalks a woman! Also I have a request, Brad; can you review the J.K. Rowling TV movie from Lifetime?

I just realized that the "hero" , "villain" and the dip shit dad in this movie were all three in Supernatural at one point. the two female stars were each in season 1 episodes, and the dip shit dad plays one of the British men of letters. I forgot his name. Then he played the twin of that character about a season later.

I despise these listen to your heart not your head movies

"Try and catch me. I'm a cat now." Did you just pull a Phelous

Santa.....Satan DONT YOU SEE THE CONNECTION???

22:05 that’s a deep burn. I gotta give that line credit!

That end made my Christmas....hahahahahahaha WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WEARING?!!!

I'm sad knowing we'll never see Bearian again.

Brian and Sarah were rockstars in this.

32:07 I've been wanting to ask him that for years.
