She’s so stressed about the wedding that she can’t sleep, so her solution is to cheat on her unwitting fiancé and leave the wedding in shambles. Ingenious solution, well executed, but for the next run I recommend she just break up from the beginning, it really shaves weeks off the speedrun.
I mean I have very bad nightmares and I can only fall asleep with a mammal nearby. But most nights that's my pet dog. It doesn't have to be someone specific but it does have to be a live creature genuinely
For we must all appear before “the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10) We will be judged for every deed we do whether is be good or bad. This isn’t something to worry about even if our bad deeds out weigh our good. Because none are good before God, all have sinned against Him and cursed His name, but He in His tender loving mercy hath given us His Son as our ransom. When Jesus was dying all of Gods wrath and judgement was poured out onto Him even though He was sinless. He was sacrificed and tortured on our behalf though we are sinful and carnal. Christ payed our sin debt with His perfect sinless blood so we may escape judgment and have everlasting life. But this great gift is only for those who accept it and accept Him ❤️
I feel like somewhere in a parallel timeline ‘no sleep ‘till Christmas’ is a lovely and heartfelt movie about a girl in an emotionally abusive relationship, something that stresses her out and makes her unable to sleep, until she meets a guy who treats her well and they fall in love. Her being able to sleep next to him is indicative of how safe and comfortable he makes her, comped to her current fiancé.
“No Sleep Til Christmas” should have ended with Lizzie and Billy absolutely miserable because all they can actually do together is sleep, be assholes, and crash Lizzie’s car, while Josh is in a happy, healthy relationship with someone else.
honesty? would've made the movie have a reason to actually watch it. like the entire moral of it is, "don't leave your finance for a guy you just met or you'll be miserable". but instead we got this slop
The good news for Josh is that he dodged the bullet. The bad news is that it's gonna take a while to recover. The great news is that while he recovers he will be able to watch the two of them gradually destroy each other's lives inevitably on social media until they are shells of themselves. The bad news is that he is a good guy so he'll probably feel bad about that instead of celebrating. The good news is that now he can find someone who is not insane
I really hate it when movies try to romanticize cheating. Yeah just because you love someone else doesn't excuse the fact that you're still in a relationship and hurting your partner. It's okay if you don't have feelings for them anymore, but atleast tell them that and not lie about loving them then having an affair behind their back.
I feel the same too, I got more respect if someone was upfront and honest to me that they don't have the spark anymore (especially before marriage and the engagement) rather than cheating on me behind my back and ditch me
its really appealing for women in loveless marriages. Movies like these are made for women who want an escape from their husband. Shows like outlander, weird cheating rom-coms, etc.
As someone who is poly it also pisses me off cause it acts like you can only be monogamous and cheat. Like do these movies know being poly is a thing? She could have explained to Josh that she can actually sleep with this one rando she met at in a car accident and they could just have sleepovers at her house… like this could have worked out
@@DeathnoteBB as someone who is aroace I just want people to be friends somethimes, haha. I totally want a movie where they just have sleepovers... and then there are dinosaurs because dinosaurs are cool. >:)
That whole movie could’ve been improved if it was just Lizzie helping plan someone ELSE’S wedding, and is stressed because everyone’s counting on her Nan’s THEN she meets the lame guy she’s into for some reason No cheating on an actual good person required!
Poor Josh was even willing to let his WIFE sleep with some other douchebag because he knows how much it affects her. I'm glad they didn't get married but only because Josh deserves better if thats how she treated him. I AM SO PISSED ON JOSH'S BEHALF! POOR JOSH :,(

Genuinely feel like writing a revenge-story fanfic for the first one where Josh gets a happy ending and the sleeping woman and the lazy man turn out not work out as a couple
If this was in real life, that's how things would progress... and then holy would realize she changed josh for a garbage but Josh wouldn't want her anymore, bcs he's already engaged with another woman (and he IS loyal) and then holy would "fall in love" to the first man (who is also a piece of garbage) that she finds after crying bcs Josh didn't want her back
@@dude9318 You have to be pretty young to not get why this is so horrifically invasive. He pretended to be her husband so that he could control all the medical decisions that were made for her while she was in a coma, stayed in the room with her for hours and hours, probably watched while the nurses were doing extremely private things like replacing a catheter (because it wouldn't occur to them to ask a HUSBAND to leave). All without her consent, as a COWORKER of only a few months. "Hate" is absolutely the right word. Yall are only letting him get away with this shit because he's conventionally attractive. If he was ugly then you would have no problem whatsoever understanding why this is terrifying stalker behaviour.
I want to pretend that movie is a prequel to a real rom-com where Josh is the male character who's healing from his toxic ex who left him at the altar because she'd been falling for some random guy behind his back while he was trying to give her the perfect wedding and future.
It's not really dodging a bullet if she breaks up with you on your wedding day. Dodging a bullet would be not doing a second date after she exhibits red flags on the first.
@@pictonomii3295 lol yeah I agree, getting cheated on and spending a bunch of your money on a wedding only to get dumped infront of your whole family didn't dodge any bullets, more like severely injured from 20 bullets.
right? I can only fall asleep if theres an attractive white man who looks half homeless and acts like a child in the room sleeping next to me ... like as a scientist from a psychological and biological pov none of that even makes sense!! As in like the plot writers are so dumb they could have made it a tiny bit more realistic the only explanation I have (and EVEN THIS IS A REACH) is something hormonal to do with being in vicinity of the other person makes her tired which is kinda hillarious but also very unlikely 😭
He goes for a run, she goes for a drive…at night…with sunglasses on but when she drives to find him at the end of the movie during the day time with no sunglasses…genius
I want to write an arc for Josh where he, miserable and alone, finds a faithful and loving woman who he slowly falls for and she falls for him right back, and Josh realizes how terrible his former fiancee was for him and it ends with him clocking Billy square in the jaw
the first movie feels like the writers wanted to make that stereotypical Christmas movie where the woman gets married to someone who is an asshole, as she falls in love with another dude who is a better fit for her as they get together in the end, but the forgot to actually make the fiancee an asshole.
I hope Amanda gets a kick out of the fact that now, if we don't like how a film's plot is progressing, my husband and I both shrug and say, "It ony a movie" before we watch something else. 😆

But the absurd thing of the second movie is that the protagonist spent very little time with Milo in real life, the rest was in her dreams, so she actually does not know Milo at all. What I am trying to say is that Milo is more creepy than we think.
so many of these Christmas movies just try and gloss over the fact that the "hero/heroine" of the story is just a selfish cheater yet we're supposed to be happy cause they "found their person," and everytime i wanna scream
@@seigeengine I’m pretty sure drew made a vid about a Christmas romcom movie where one of the main characters gets kidnapped by the other main character and they fall in love
@@mosscat3797 The only love here is the love of the family for the kidnapped. This is a a serious movie about a kidnapping and the subsequent abuse and suffering. During Christmas.
and when they do this, the LEAST they could do is make the main character’s original partner actively unlikeable. if josh treated her like shit and this was her story about how she broke free from it, it wouldn’t be so bad. but this guy was straight up perfect for her and she left him at the altar so she’s just an unlikeable asshole
God that first movie, the entire joke of “they’re sleeping together….but not like that!!” Gets so under my skin. My college boyfriend didn’t “cheat” on me but he slept in the same bed as his female best friend every night without telling me and then claimed it wasn’t cheating because they just slept. If you really didn’t think it was wrong why did you keep it a secret.
@@kko5779 big red flag if your partner thinks it's a "red flag" when you have a best friend of the opposite gender. do you think men and women are incapable of being friends without having any romantic/sexual attraction? sounds like incel ideology to me.
As a photographer, if i may point out about that terrible photo of their hand holding, it would never be put on a billboard or printed because the phone quality and the size of the image could never stretch to be big enough for a billboard without it looking really bad and blurry as hell. Plus all those contrasted colors would make them unprintable.
Oh, yeah. It's no good. Maybe they want to advertise their diamonds by making themselves look cheap and horrifically unprofessional. I mean, it'd definitely be disruptive in the industry lmaoooooo
My personal headcanon for the first movie is that the real sleeping magic was from the car crash. Once they each nuked their own personal lives, they immediately broke the spell by crashing again, leaving them both to suffer their sleepless karma alone -- but now also with some random sleepless stranger they don't actually know or like :D
Yesss. And they'd go to bed every night angry with each other like "I thought you were supposed to help!" and somehow find out about the spell and want to recreate that spell by having her running her car into him again- but this time it ends ugly lol 😭
As someone who lives where they film a lot of these atrociously bad hallmarkian movies; I love watching these. There's nothing that drives things further into "what the fucksville" than seeing the cast teleporting around the city mid-conversation.
This is what I love (and it is the only thing I love) about Michael Bay movies, as someone who lives in Detroit. Michael Bay absolutely LOVES the Michigan Central Station and literally 1 other block in the middle of the city. (These 2 locations are already miles from each other.) He films scenes in those 2 locations constantly, but the rest of the movie is filmed in LA or Chicago. So the characters not only teleport miles across the city, but back and forth across the country. Granted, that's true of every movie ever made.
I wish it wasn't a 'fiance' but just a supportive male friend who isn't a love interest. We unironically need more platonic friendships that will only ever been platonic friendships, in media.
This. I hate it, especially when they peddle any platonic friendship into relationships. tLoK really pissed me off with that, since they burned the only female-female friendship in the entire show for lesbian points. It didn't help the only other love interest the MC had in that series was entirely predicated on him being hot.
It wont work in romantic comedies cuz its too boring. Most people wont really give a shit as its not dramatic enough. As much I would love a more realistic take on romance and having platonic friends of the other gender, even I would find boring...which is okay since these are just movies.
Question: was there a reason they didn’t get a double bed room? It shows when they go to the sleep specialist that they can sleep in separate beds so…. What is the reason?
SNL once parodied hallmark Christmas films with the line “My fiancé works too much, so it’s okay if I cheat on him.” Looks like someone saw that and ran with it.
"He's been roleplaying as her husband while she was sleeping. Is that not weird?" Clearly that isn't weird, Drew. While You Were Sleeping set the precedent for that being normal, charming behavior.
Only she did not actually get together with that guy in the end. They do frame it as ultimately harmless, but at least not as like... a romantic gesture that will result in a relationship.
At least she didn’t go into the hospital like “I’m gonna pretend to be your Fiancée and creep on this dude while he’s in a coma!” She got too caught up in all the family shit.
when i was little i had a really bad fear of mannequins but i also felt empathy for literally anything creature-shaped so i would feel bad for them being lonely. anyways this would manifest in me holding a mannequin's hand for like half a second and then running away really quickly
am i the only one who doesn't understand how she doesn't have "ideas" for the wedding? like aren't wedding generally pretty formulaic? is she struggling to come up with the colour palette? is she trying to pick a theme? can she not decide on what flavour of cake to get? i feel like a lot of her problems could be solved if she just got a pinterest account
Fr, like she's done weddings before and therefore has a lot of experience AND references. She didn't really seem to be crazy about the details of her wedding, so I wonder why she didn't just use one of the previous weddings
Or even like... just hire another wedding planner then? If you're so paralyzed by the idea of planning your own wedding because you have too many ideas and a complete inability to decide, fine lol. But it makes no sense to allow yourself to be so stressed over this that you don't sleep for MONTHS when literally all you had to do was hire an outside consultant to do it for you.
One way of "burning" a turkey, if you will, is using a pan that is too small. The juices from the turkey start dripping from the pan and into the oven causing it to smoke.
I made a turkey for the first time ever this year and now I do not understand how anyone ever messes it up. It was perfectly moist and I barely did anything but time it. It's crazy because I've only known one other person who makes good turkey. Everyone elses is dry af.
I absolutely love that they did the cliche of repeating the meet cute when they find each other at the end of the third act even though their meet cute was her hitting him with her car
Can I point out that "Fairy Tale in New York" (the "romantic" karaoke song they sing) is possibly the least romantic Christmas song ever? More than half the song is about two people who ruined their lives to be together and now despise themselves and each other for it. I guess what I'm saying is, it's the perfect song for this couple.
YES. It's maybe not AS bad as when people think Every Breath You Take is a romantic song (since Fairy Tale of New York is just about how a relationship turns miserable instead of about actively stalking your ex with criminal intent) but it's a pretty clear case of "just throw something generically Christmassy into the soundtrack, no one cares about the lyrics" I think they should've left in the "you're an old slut on junk, lying there almost dead" lines, personally. Would've been a really romantic duet
The idea of someone literally sleeping with someone else because it helps them sleep is actually hilarious. Although it seems more like a one off sitcom episode than a whole romcom.
I feel like somewhere along the “terrible tv romance movies” line they realized that people are more intrigued by the drama of one person realizing they’re in a bad relationship and escaping it for the better fit. And then somewhere further along the line they forgot the part where the first relationship should be obviously not good and just had them leaving otherwise healthy if unexciting relationships for just, like, a different one.
bro that movie INFURIATED me. i have a girlfriend and i just can't imagine if one day if we decided to get married and were already ready for it she suddenly leaves me for some other guy and REJECTS me at the day that's supposed to be the best in my life.
I personally cannot stand it. Even when I am supposed to feel bad for the female lead, if she cheats on her husband and they try to make it justified in some way it just makes me dislike the main character so much. I think you have to be in a very unhappy relationship yourself to watch stuff like this.
I find it hilarious when movies have characters who's whole thing is that they get away with shit because they are hot but I don't find them hot at all and it just like totally makes the movie look like 10 times goofier
Crazy thing is the husband in Not Like That was more conventionally Hollywood attractive than the White dude yet did nothing wrong to his soon to be wife besides not being the White dude. I'm not saying the movie is racist, I'm saying it broke a dumb trope in a needlessly mean way that feels a bit sus.
I love when the main problem of the movie can be solved with a doctor's visit and a prescription for sleep medication, but the main character does something ridiculous and unnecessary, instead. 😂
Love how their karaoke song is about a poor Irish couple fighting on Christmas after the husband spends the night in the drunk tank. Really sets up the vibes of this relationship.
Holly’s Holiday reminds me of the Swedish film “Vaxdockan”, a movie about a lonely man falling in love with a mannequin. Except it’s treated exactly like it is, weird, creepy and honestly kind of sad and disturbing. It’s a much better film and if you like old, weird movies you’ll love it.
as someone who loves old weird movies, thank you for this rec :D i don't know many movies with/about mannequins myself, the only one off the top of my head is "Tourist Trap." it's really weird and honestly not that good, but it's a silly horror movie for anyone who likes that kind of stuff :)
The second movie honestly felt like someone watched Night at the Museum a hundred times and then decided "hey, what if this was the weirdest romcom ever? AND we're using the ~all just a dream~ trope"
milos actor is in the one piece live action as buggy.. when i saw him i was like WOW he is so familiar so i checked his imdb and saw he was in this movieee so crazy
The second movie reminded me of the (far better) Rebel Wilson movie "Isn't it romantic?" in that the main character ends up in a dream state for most of the film due to (in this case) an extremely violent mugging that results in her slamming into a subway pillar. It's got great running gags making fun of romantic comedies but also has some genuinely sweet and fun moments. One of my favourite gags is a scene where she keeps being subject to romantic comedy editing - she has implied mindblowing sex, but the actual sex part is cut out, so that morning she keeps trying to make it happen again only for it to keep skipping the fun parts because she's in a fluffy romcom and not a porn.
I liked a lot of this movie and then got pissed when she didn't have a happy ending with Chris Hemsworth but got together with the coworker she didn't actually like but suddenly got jealous of, who was this also chubby nerdy guy Like Why COULDNT she be happy with an australian hottie? Its because she was fat isn't it?
the 2nd movie reminds me of the time the christmas tree fell onto my grandma breaking nearly 20 glass ornaments and resulting in us never getting a organic tree again
I see “No Sleep Till Christmas” as a movie of triumph. If that lady’s solution to insomnia isn’t continuing to try scientifically proven methods, but rather to sleep in the same bed as a stranger, Josh is better off without her. He’s too good for her, and it’s awesome that he didn’t marry the main girl. He dodged a major bullet not marrying that god damn psycho. He made it out okay
It's interesting to note that Holly dreamed of Milo falling in love with her and that he is the perfect man. The only times we see Real Milo is at the start and end of the movie, the rest is her idea of Milo in her head. Almost all her interactions with Milo are what she imagines to be the case.
"that design would have been done in September" unfortunately as someone who is a graphic designer for a very large brand.....the only inaccurate thing is that the vender who would publish the ad wouldn't work on Christmas, so they'd have to push it up a couple weeks. Christmas Eve is reserved for working on the New Year's campaign which Holly would still be finishing up because the client forgot to request it earlier because everyone was focused on the Christmas campaign.
On the "burning the turkey" thing: My grandmother once burned a Thanksgiving turkey and got so angry about it that she made chicken every single year after instead. She literally swore off turkey forever.
So she forgot about the turkey for easily an hour (the time it would take to even somewhat burn it), or more and then blamed the turkey for it, proceeding to only make very standard birds now that burn way way, way more easy?

I'm begging
Lmao, that’s the true ending
Yes please 🙌
i would watch that
That would be amazing, Josh deserves better💪😾
“No Sleep Til Christmas” should have ended with Lizzie and Billy absolutely miserable because all they can actually do together is sleep, be assholes, and crash Lizzie’s car, while Josh is in a happy, healthy relationship with someone else.
for some reason "sleep, be assholes, and crash Lizzie's car" has me cracking up. the new Live Laugh Love for sure.
@@Gossamaggs girls in 2020 only know how to sleep, be assholes, crash their cars and lie
honesty? would've made the movie have a reason to actually watch it. like the entire moral of it is, "don't leave your finance for a guy you just met or you'll be miserable". but instead we got this slop
Or they coulda just ended up best friends or smth and it coulda been wholesome.
@@Elizabean1984 no.
The good news for Josh is that he dodged the bullet. The bad news is that it's gonna take a while to recover. The great news is that while he recovers he will be able to watch the two of them gradually destroy each other's lives inevitably on social media until they are shells of themselves. The bad news is that he is a good guy so he'll probably feel bad about that instead of celebrating. The good news is that now he can find someone who is not insane
FACTS I hope he finds someone better
the bad news is that he's fictional :(
Perfect comment👏
My brain in a nutshell 😭😭
That’s a lot of news
I really hate it when movies try to romanticize cheating. Yeah just because you love someone else doesn't excuse the fact that you're still in a relationship and hurting your partner. It's okay if you don't have feelings for them anymore, but atleast tell them that and not lie about loving them then having an affair behind their back.
I feel the same too, I got more respect if someone was upfront and honest to me that they don't have the spark anymore (especially before marriage and the engagement) rather than cheating on me behind my back and ditch me
@@ghostlyhousehorrors yeah, I'd be more heartbroken if I found out my partner is cheating on me than them breaking up with me
its really appealing for women in loveless marriages. Movies like these are made for women who want an escape from their husband. Shows like outlander, weird cheating rom-coms, etc.
As someone who is poly it also pisses me off cause it acts like you can only be monogamous and cheat. Like do these movies know being poly is a thing? She could have explained to Josh that she can actually sleep with this one rando she met at in a car accident and they could just have sleepovers at her house… like this could have worked out

No cheating on an actual good person required!
Yeah she literally works for an event planning company, so that makes perfect sense.
They wanted the "leaving him on the altar" scene. Probably where their budget went they had nothing for Photoshop after that

I want to pretend that movie is a prequel to a real rom-com where Josh is the male character who's healing from his toxic ex who left him at the altar because she'd been falling for some random guy behind his back while he was trying to give her the perfect wedding and future.
She also switched from her coloured fiancé to a random white guy - like, what kind of message were they going for with this story, lol
These movies were trying to win the prestigious and completely made up 'Most Unlikable Main Characters' award.
Also Josh really dodged a bullet there.
It's not really dodging a bullet if she breaks up with you on your wedding day. Dodging a bullet would be not doing a second date after she exhibits red flags on the first.
I guess a better way to put it is that he got blown away at point blank range and just barely lived to tell the tale.

so many of these Christmas movies just try and gloss over the fact that the "hero/heroine" of the story is just a selfish cheater yet we're supposed to be happy cause they "found their person," and everytime i wanna scream

My personal headcanon for the first movie is that the real sleeping magic was from the car crash. Once they each nuked their own personal lives, they immediately broke the spell by crashing again, leaving them both to suffer their sleepless karma alone -- but now also with some random sleepless stranger they don't actually know or like :D
Damn that is a hell of a sequel idea
Hit him again
yes.
That’s how it should have ended

SNL once parodied hallmark Christmas films with the line “My fiancé works too much, so it’s okay if I cheat on him.” Looks like someone saw that and ran with it.
And that someone was Disney, kinda.
"He's been roleplaying as her husband while she was sleeping. Is that not weird?" Clearly that isn't weird, Drew. While You Were Sleeping set the precedent for that being normal, charming behavior.
Only she did not actually get together with that guy in the end. They do frame it as ultimately harmless, but at least not as like... a romantic gesture that will result in a relationship.
This describes both movies
At least she didn’t go into the hospital like “I’m gonna pretend to be your Fiancée and creep on this dude while he’s in a coma!” She got too caught up in all the family shit.

Can I point out that "Fairy Tale in New York" (the "romantic" karaoke song they sing) is possibly the least romantic Christmas song ever? More than half the song is about two people who ruined their lives to be together and now despise themselves and each other for it. I guess what I'm saying is, it's the perfect song for this couple.
Foreshadowing perhaps? I hope so.
YES. It's maybe not AS bad as when people think Every Breath You Take is a romantic song (since Fairy Tale of New York is just about how a relationship turns miserable instead of about actively stalking your ex with criminal intent) but it's a pretty clear case of "just throw something generically Christmassy into the soundtrack, no one cares about the lyrics"

THE IRONY that she’s wearing a “bride” sash while actively cheating on the person she’s marrying is just...👌
The idea of someone literally sleeping with someone else because it helps them sleep is actually hilarious. Although it seems more like a one off sitcom episode than a whole romcom.
Like it kind of ruins it that they fall in love😂
I feel like somewhere along the “terrible tv romance movies” line they realized that people are more intrigued by the drama of one person realizing they’re in a bad relationship and escaping it for the better fit. And then somewhere further along the line they forgot the part where the first relationship should be obviously not good and just had them leaving otherwise healthy if unexciting relationships for just, like, a different one.
It seems like it's always about getting together with someone, even if you're already in a relationship and nothing makes sense

Ive been sick and your videos have been keeping me company all afternoon. Thank you!
Love how their karaoke song is about a poor Irish couple fighting on Christmas after the husband spends the night in the drunk tank. Really sets up the vibes of this relationship.
What's it called
@@Alleycat120181 Fairytale of New York, it’s actually one of my favorite songs bc I think it does storytelling so well
Holly’s Holiday reminds me of the Swedish film “Vaxdockan”, a movie about a lonely man falling in love with a mannequin. Except it’s treated exactly like it is, weird, creepy and honestly kind of sad and disturbing. It’s a much better film and if you like old, weird movies you’ll love it.
as someone who loves old weird movies, thank you for this rec :D i don't know many movies with/about mannequins myself, the only one off the top of my head is "Tourist Trap." it's really weird and honestly not that good, but it's a silly horror movie for anyone who likes that kind of stuff :)
also Lars and the Real Girl, from like 2006 with Ryan Gosling. that movie slaps too
Vaxdockan is one of the only movies that have made me seriously disturbed while watching.
where can i watch this?
@@filui It’s on RUclips, but it’s in Swedish and I don’t know if there are English subtitles.
The second movie honestly felt like someone watched Night at the Museum a hundred times and then decided "hey, what if this was the weirdest romcom ever? AND we're using the ~all just a dream~ trope"
You're describing one of the "Night at the Museum" sequels
night at the museum 4 looks great!
I need a sequel about Josh finding someone who appreciates him and treats him well, as he deserves.
someone buy this man a calendar 🙄
Since Drew hearted your comment, he’s considering it
Did you enjoy your holiday?
I thought about it…no
I think he posts based on his menstrual cycle always at the end of the month
@@joshuafallgren8498 It is now canon that drew has a uterus
There is NO WAY that they didn't realize that the costume at 14:21 looks like shaggy, it is LITERALLY shaggys outfit down to the pants
someone in costumes had fun after being told this person wears v-necks and has floppy hair.
my ass involuntarily clenched to “our lips fit perfectly together”
Tmi
milos actor is in the one piece live action as buggy.. when i saw him i was like WOW he is so familiar so i checked his imdb and saw he was in this movieee so crazy
The accidental hand photo made me laugh so hard, how is that physically possible
Every time drew said “but not like that” I laughed progressively harder
The final time where he’s like wheezing it out lives in my head rent free hahaha
The second movie reminded me of the (far better) Rebel Wilson movie "Isn't it romantic?" in that the main character ends up in a dream state for most of the film due to (in this case) an extremely violent mugging that results in her slamming into a subway pillar. It's got great running gags making fun of romantic comedies but also has some genuinely sweet and fun moments. One of my favourite gags is a scene where she keeps being subject to romantic comedy editing - she has implied mindblowing sex, but the actual sex part is cut out, so that morning she keeps trying to make it happen again only for it to keep skipping the fun parts because she's in a fluffy romcom and not a porn.
Omg that movie is beguiling
I can't see rebel Wilson as anything but the "annoying girl in ghost rider"
maybe that movie will change my mind.
@@Ananyaaaya so beguiling
That part was freakin' hilarious!
I liked a lot of this movie and then got pissed when she didn't have a happy ending with Chris Hemsworth but got together with the coworker she didn't actually like but suddenly got jealous of, who was this also chubby nerdy guy
Like
Why COULDNT she be happy with an australian hottie? Its because she was fat isn't it?
the 2nd movie reminds me of the time the christmas tree fell onto my grandma breaking nearly 20 glass ornaments and resulting in us never getting a organic tree again
your grandma ok?
@@audiovisualcringe yea it happened like 8 years ago she's still going 💪💪
do you personally believe the tree incident made her bones stronger
@@lamibonxd i mean probably
Why, WHY the hell does Drew not say a single thing about sleep-deprived girl driving to get sleepy at NIGHT while wearing SUNGLASSES
...he did? at 4:12 (he didn't mention the sunglasses though)
@@saintsomnia8030 it’s the sunglasses that really need to be addressed
HE DID
She should have worn an eye mask for sleeping instead of glasses
Same.
I see “No Sleep Till Christmas” as a movie of triumph. If that lady’s solution to insomnia isn’t continuing to try scientifically proven methods, but rather to sleep in the same bed as a stranger, Josh is better off without her. He’s too good for her, and it’s awesome that he didn’t marry the main girl. He dodged a major bullet not marrying that god damn psycho. He made it out okay
It's interesting to note that Holly dreamed of Milo falling in love with her and that he is the perfect man.
The only times we see Real Milo is at the start and end of the movie, the rest is her idea of Milo in her head.
Almost all her interactions with Milo are what she imagines to be the case.
Clever observation, but you see, it's way funnier to spout trendy words that Twitter made up for 10 minutes.
@@Falkuzrulesdo you think twitter made up shaggy norville rogers
can’t believe buggy in the live action one piece is played by milo. my favourite shaggy cosplayer made it big
Oh damn! He did a really good job as Buggy. I didn't recognize him as the same person for... probably obvious reasons.
19:36
The way he said, "Look at the fuckin' ring. It looks so bad!" killed me.
"that design would have been done in September" unfortunately as someone who is a graphic designer for a very large brand.....the only inaccurate thing is that the vender who would publish the ad wouldn't work on Christmas, so they'd have to push it up a couple weeks. Christmas Eve is reserved for working on the New Year's campaign which Holly would still be finishing up because the client forgot to request it earlier because everyone was focused on the Christmas campaign.
I believe you LOL
This comment is so dry that a skilled vet couldn`t even save him
Woah, the dude for Holly's Holiday plays Buggy in One Piece
On the "burning the turkey" thing: My grandmother once burned a Thanksgiving turkey and got so angry about it that she made chicken every single year after instead. She literally swore off turkey forever.
It was the turkey's fault.
Are you sure your grandma doesn’t live in a thanksgiving day special
So she forgot about the turkey for easily an hour (the time it would take to even somewhat burn it), or more and then blamed the turkey for it, proceeding to only make very standard birds now that burn way way, way more easy?
