Christmas
If the spirit of Christmas just can't infect you, if romantic comedies have bored you, if the Christmas period arouses anything but positive feelings, here are six films that are right for you.
Christmas at all costs
« All this for this cursed Christmas that haunts me (…). Mamma mia what a break from ** ». With this joke we officially declare Christian De Sica the official spokesperson for all Christmas haters. The comedy starring him with Angela Finocchiaro (from December 19 on Netflix), written and directed by Giovanni Bognetti, foresees the classic of classics: the "elderly" parents who try to convince their "young" children to spend dinner with them Christmas. Failing to do so, they will resort to a series of diabolical stratagems in order to achieve the result, in a climax of lies and comedy that does not spare vitriolic jokes and a healthy dose of malice, between greedy children and vengeful parents. After all, who said that we are all better
at Christmas?

I hate Christmas < /h2> « I hate Christmas. I said it. (…) And not for panettone and lights, I like them very much. I hate Christmas because Christmas is angry with me (…) At Christmas they don't give a damn about your happiness: at Christmas it only matters if you have your own family ». Speaking is Pilar Fogliati , protagonist of the Netflix series based on Christmas with a stranger by Per-Olav Sørensen. The days leading up to Christmas turn into a nightmare for the protagonist: the first episode is not surprisingly titled "The big Christmas lie", while the following ones will see her 'hunting' for the man to take to Christmas dinner. Obviously, in this anti-romantic generational comedy, all sorts of things will happen.

Spirited
Let's face it, Scrooge perfectly embodies anyone who is allergic to Christmas, to the trail of do-gooders that it carries with it and to fuss with others. Over the years A Christmas Carol has been redone in every way, above all we suggest a rediscovery of the timeless S.O.S. Ghosts with Bill Murray, but also the vision of Spirited , the latest in chronological order, available on Apple +. This time to play the Ghost of Christmas Present is Will Ferrell, but who chooses the wrong Scrooge (Ryan Reynolds). For the first time he will have to reexamine his own past, present and future: an exhilarating musical reinterpretation of the Dickens classic, from the point of view of ghosts.

Made by the producers of Bullet Train and by shortly released at the cinema, it opens with a group of drunken Santas at the bar counter, who are mad at Christmas. And with elves, and with children, and with their parents. Vitriolic complaints, to which are added those of the "real" Santa Claus, played by David Harbour, who will find himself having to thwart a robbery in a house, showing off the unprecedented powers of a true villain / anti-hero. Botte da orbi, other than gifts.

Every damn Christmas
It's not from this year , but it is absolutely worth reviewing and retrieving. You can find it on Netflix, it tells of two polar opposite families with whom spending Christmas turns out to be simply disastrous. Lots of funny gags, ranging from cabaret jokes to social satire, and the beauty is that the two opposing families are played by the same actors. A great cast and the direction of the creators of Boris - the series Giacomo Ciarrapico, Luca Vendruscolo and Mattia Torre do the rest. On the subject of binges, not just Christmas, we also recommend the Gola monologue on Rai Play, also written by Mattia Torre.

The great classic of true serial haters of Christmas could not be missing. The fixed bad-tempered, green-colored creature who lives like a hermit in his dark cave and hates Christmas and everything about it. At the time the mask entrusted to Jim Carrey was awarded an Oscar, twenty years after Ron Howard's film continues to be current: not only is there now even talk of the "Grinch syndrome", but cinematographically speaking it still reveals a unmissable social satire on the lack of integration of the 'different' and on the consumerist tendencies of a society now blind to the other. And Merry Christmas to all.
