The holidays have officially come to Netflix! It seems like the streaming giant is taking a page out of The Hallmark Channel’s annual Countdown to Christmas lineup and starting the festivities earlier and earlier. I can’t say that I mind! This year’s festivities kicked off with the release of the Best. Christmas. Ever. A fun-filled holiday flick that was super fun. Unfortunately, it felt like something was missing from it.
The Brandy Norwood and Heather Graham-led movie begins when Jackie (Norwood) sends off her annual Christmas newsletter. A recipient of the letter, Charlotte (Graham) finds the newsletter to be braggy and repulsive, believing that Jackie must be lying about her perfect life. When fate intervenes in the form of Charlotte’s son and navigation system, she and her family find themselves on Jackie’s perfect doorstep. With her husband (Jason Biggs) happy to reunite with an old friend and her kids enjoying the massive house, Charlotte gets conned into spending the holiday with Jackie. Still suspicious of her so-called perfect life, she sets out to expose her once and for all.
