Synopsis


Let it snow has a whole new meaning this Christmas as three friends get together for their annual Christmas Eve celebration. With a baby on the way, Isaac’s (Seth Rogan) wife gifts him a small aresenol of drugs to take throughout the night for one last hoorah. Strap in your seatbelts and sit tight as you prepare for a Christmas trip with the trio. The night takes them on a journey with an aim to get into an exclusive party, Nutcracker Ball. And that’s pretty much the entire film.

But don’t lose hope because the dynamic between Rogan, Gordan-Levitt and Mackie is actually pretty funny. They encounter many awkward, embarrassing and slightly problematic situations. My very favourite James Franco even makes an appearance, and you can only imagine what he might bring to the film 😉 You’ll have enough laugh out loud moments with Rogan’s humour, making it a winning choice for his fans.

Watch this mediocre movie if…. you are appropriately high, or having a lazy weekend at home. This is technically a Christmas film but I wouldn’t even wait for Christmas to watch this. It’s simply a good all year rounder.
