Holiday Breakup (2016) User Reviews

So-So But The Actors Are Good

[Christmas-Reviewer · 5/10 · 29 April 2018]

I Have Reviewed OVER 500 Christmas MOVIES. On all Christmas movies BEWARE OF FAKE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. Many reviewers have only have ONE REVIEW. When it's a POSITIVE REVIEW chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. If its a negative review then they may have a huge grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare about these films.

I review them is to keep track of what "I have seen". Two people meet by accident on July 4th and find themselves living together very quickly. However as fast as the relationship started it also burns out just as fast. Now this being the holiday the former couple pretend to still be a couple so their holidays do not turn into a pity party.

The film is not great but it is not a total waste of time. I think both of the characters are people that in real "You Could Be Friends With".

The problem with the film however is that scenes are telegraphed to the audience long before it happens.

The actors are all good and deliver an enjoyable product.

Not Bad - Definitely Low Budget

[kedurham_ · 5/10 · 1 June 2021]

This movie actually isn't bad for a low budget movie. Majority of the actors aren't well known especially the main characters. (Outside of the popular app vine)

I see a lot of bad reviews, but again you have to take into account the movie is low budget. So it lacks the finesse and storyline touches you get with bigger budget movies or even modern day netflix films.

For a low budget film it's actually pretty good. More of a filler movie honestly. Not one i could get super invested into, but a good low budget rom-com if you've watched pretty much all the "recent" rom coms on your streaming service.

I give it a 5 - not the best, but definitely far from the worse low-budget film. Also the soundtrack is really nice.

Lightweight but enjoyable

[kgammill · 5/10 · 4 March 2021]

This movie is not nearly as bad as most of the reviews say it is. It's pretty lightweight, by the numbers stuff but it's partly a parody of romcoms and not to be taken too seriously. A little more direct parody definitely would have helped. The male lead's character could have been better written. He's rather dull and we never really see any reason why the quirky girl falls in love with him except that he's cute. Manon Matthews is what makes the movie enjoyable. If you like her and her humor, you'll probably like the movie enough to overlook its flaws.

Quite Possibly the WORST Christmas Movie I've Ever Seen!

[tesswysko · 2/10 · 4 January 2021]

I have just sat through the first half hour of God awful, annoying movie! The cast seems like good actors, they play the parts well, however the movie itself is just drivel that numbs your mind, and is so BASIC, that it's OBVIOUS what's going to happen, so there no sense sitting through the movie, especially when they're DRAGGING it out so horribly, and there's SO many GOOD Christmas movies on Tubi that I could be watching instead! They make the main female character like an autistic version of Zoey Deschannel, and as soon as the guy's Dad tells him that the girl's an airhead (my summation,) she starts ACTING like one, acting afraid of the commitment she was just pushing for, and HE starts getting really annoyed by this side of her, and starts behaving like be doesn't know how to have fun at all! It was a complete waste of a half hour of my life I'll never be able to get back! And it's not like I can't logically figure out what happens in the end! I DON'T recommend this movie, unless you want to be put to sleep!

Not Good

[ayla-81-679326 · 1/10 · 21 April 2017]

I couldn't even make it through the first 20 minutes. This was ridiculously bad and I never say this or write bad reviews.. The female lead was just overly annoying to watch. Even after reading other bad reviews, I still wanted to try and give it a fair chance. The male lead was good, but he needed to be in a different movie, since the female lead was so amateur and ridiculously bad that it seemed to only drag him down into such a crap movie. :-(

I was duped by the reviews.

[thegardenmomma · 1/10 · 27 February 2017]

This movie was horrendous. The acting was abysmal. I can't believe how bad it was. Who in the world gave this so many stars???

Just as an FYI, this was produced by the main actress' father and was, unsurprisingly, his first film. That explains a bit of the terrible nature.

awful is being nice

[mariebloom · 1/10 · 21 June 2017]

Awful is being nice. I don't understand how this thing even got put up. There is no story line and if there is, it is nonexistent and too much going on. The acting is bad, the only one good is the Jeff guy, but that's being moderate. Everyone else is so bad. The room might have a new the Oscar worthy movie and this is the worst movie ever made. Like them breaking up, didn't even make sense.

Worst movie ever!!!!

[cotton_blossom-219-395542 · 1/10 · 24 December 2016]

This is an hour and twenty nine minutes of my life that I will NEVER get back! Do yourself a favor and pass this movie up. It's a complete waste of time. It's not funny, it's completely boring and stupid. It's supposed to be a romantic comedy. Key words are "supposed to be". It's a box office bore. I had to rate it something so I gave it one star but honestly I give it zero stars. I like all kinds of movies except sci-fi, but this movie honestly is a waste. I continued to watch in hopes it would pick up but it never did, just kept getting worse. Just heed my advice and run the other way when you see this movie pop up. It's just not worth it whatsoever. You're better off watching paint dry.

Yikes!

[foyfoy · 14 November 2018]

The acting was so bad that I had to turn it off. There is a difference between cheesy holiday movies that are a guilty pleasure and one that is like nails on a chalkboard to try to watch.

Cute Romcom with a sweet ending

[pinkcathead · 7/10 · 12 February 2017]

Netflix and the internet seem to think this is a flop. But, I don't see why. It's cute, sweet, well acted and a descent story. I think they could've done with more breakup sex, but the only thing I'd change is that they used that cheesy stock Romcom background track that's straight out of 2003. It makes as much sense as playing duck sounds for dramatic effect. It's not going to change anyone's life. But, if that's what you think movies should be about, you're probably also the person who thinks all books should make a profound philosophical point. It's light fiction and sometimes it's just what you want. 7/10 I'd probably watch it again.

Awful: WORST 1 hr 29 min LONG VINE

[emilylrobinson-02459 · 1/10 · 19 December 2016]

This activity needs to stop, this "film" needs to create societal change within it's viewers, especially it's target audience. This was the longest, most horrific VINE I have ever watched. If anything this was the most painful horror film, or more accurately the most terrifying psychological commentary/documentary on our current society. RATING: 0 STARS. DO NOT LET "VINE STARS" make something longer than 6 seconds. Or even that, please. My stomach and my head hurts now. It itself and unraveling the issues with every scene was actually exhausting. My boyfriend and I are still functioning humans post watching this insanity, nice try.

when you find your soul mate

[llvegaxx · 10/10 · 10 March 2017]

I just became a fan of SHAWN ROE - wow this cutie actor is a real gem, can't wait to see more films with him in them. As for the movie itself it kind of reminded me of 'Portlandia' episodes, because of the weird background music. But I didn't mind, it was enjoyable to watch until the end, and teaches a good lesson to young couples in love.

Lol guys

[mmaries123 · 7/10 · 8 December 2018]

This movie is hilarious these are the original viners. Do you not get they are making fun of themselves. Hilarious. I saw manon in first Scene and was ALL IN. Loved the cameos

Pretty terrible.

[robsmithireland · 1/10 · 3 December 2021]

You know the way The Room is considered the Citizen Kane of bad movies? This is the atomic bomb of bad movies.

Definitely one to avoid. Completely boring, unfunny, and dull. It looks and feels like a very low budget attempt to make a Christmas feel-good movie, and it is just that, but fails massively. I won't start on the acting as it was abysmal, but maybe the actors can find their talents in time.

I assume the good reviews are from people who know either the actors or those involved with the movie somehow. Because any star over 1 star is being generous.

Awful

[nickglancy · 1/10 · 4 July 2020]

Couldn't even finish it. Just found it boring, and the girl just annoyed me.

I Feel Personally Victimized By This Movie

[summerehines · 1/10 · 25 December 2017]

What did I ever do to these people? What did I do to deserve this movie?

Not worth it

[cryslyna · 1/10 · 12 November 2018]

I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes it was so boring and terrible acting

I enjoyed it.

[taub · 7/10 · 2 March 2022]

I thought this was a cute movie. It shows you how hard it is to work on a relationship, and how your childhood affects your personality.

I think the people giving it one star reviews are looking for love in all the wrong places. Get a hobby and meet someone to love.

Delightful, funny even if a bit quirky. You gotta watch it!

[roblapham · 9/10 · 14 June 2017]

A pleasure, best romcom I've seen in months. I watched it a second time the next day. Also, I'll poke around for other appearances by female lead Manon Matthews.

I do wish I could find/buy the soundtrack, particularly her title song (We're traveling down this lonely road... I'll be right by your side...) I can' find it on either iTunes or Google music. :-(

Enjoy

[connectwellness · 8/10 · 28 April 2021]

I especially enjoyed the soundtrack. I disagree with negative comments. This was a great movie . I enjoy watching.
