[PREVIEW] 'Best. Christmas. Ever!' Is One Of Netflix's Worst Holiday Flicks Yet

The holidays are here at last, and one thing Netflix guarantees us during this magical time is a Christmas-themed chick flick starring one to three early aughts icons. The plot? Thin as a single snowflake. The message? Don’t stop believin’ (in Santa). “Best. Christmas. Ever!” wraps this whole package up in a shiny bow: Brandy Norwood, Heather Graham, and Jason Biggs star alongside Matt Cedeño in a flimsily plotted and produced movie about the importance of holiday family newsletters. Brandy (she needs no other name) plays Jackie, a glamorous and successful entrepreneur and mom whose annual Christmas letter broadcasts her family’s eye-popping accomplishments to all “friends, family, and fellow Earth dwellers.” Heather Graham plays her old friend Charlotte, who is persistently disappointed in her own career, kids, husband, and lifestyle — and who finds the annual reminders of her erstwhile buddy’s success infuriating. Somehow, Charlotte and her family wind up on Jackie’s doorstep just a few days before Christmas, hijinks ensue, and lessons about Christmas and friendship are learned. The plot twists get weirder and more upsetting as the movie winds toward its surprisingly bizarre conclusion. Brandy and Graham appear to be acting in entirely different kinds of projects, “acting” being a fairly generous term. We discuss every absurd detail in this week’s pod. Hope this helps you get in the holiday mood! xoShare Rich TextIf you liked reading this, click the ❤️ button on this post so more people can discover it on Patreon!Give us feedback or suggest a topic for the pod • Subscribe • Request a free subscription
