Familie hin oder her, die knallharte Geschäftsfrau Carol (Jennifer Aniston) ist fest entschlossen, die wenig lukrative Filiale ihres Bruders Clay (T.J. Miller) endgültig zu schließen. Doch so einfach lässt sich der beliebte Chef nicht unterkriegen. Er plant eine epische Weihnachtsfeier, deren Ziel es ist, einen potentiellen Kunden zu beeindrucken und somit die Arbeitsplätze seiner Mitarbeiter zu sichern. Während der Party entwickelt sich jedoch eine unkontrollierbare Eigendynamik, in der jegliche Grenzen von Moral und Ordnung gesprengt werden. (Constantin Film)

A nice comedy with a Christmas atmosphere and decent actors. The beginning is a bit tedious, but once the party starts the fun is taken care of until the end. Those who like similar films won’t be disappointed. 75%

I watched this film just for its cast. I had no idea what it was going to be about, and I'm only half satisfied. The film had some great moments, as well as dull ones. Given that it's set at Christmas, its ending is clearly predictable. The best moments happened at the party, which also explained to the viewer the difference between snow and snow. Olivia Munn was good to watch, which cannot be said for Kate McKinnon.

It could have been even funnier, but there are such hillbilly characters here that sometimes they just annoyed me. Jennifer Aniston is a bit boring, but her character is poorly written in terms of development. On the other hand, Olivia Munn is always beautiful and I just can't get enough of her. I enjoyed every scene with her, she even made me laugh.

This comedy seems like it has momentum until one realizes that it lacks humor. Then you just impatiently wait for the parade of awkwardness and misery to end. Even Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston couldn't do anything with it. (40%)
