Sun Dec 07 01:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Starry Cast Can’t Save Amazon’s Christmas “Fun” From Festive Flop
Los Angeles, CA – Amazon’s latest holiday offering, “Oh. What. Fun.,” boasting a star-studded cast including Michelle Pfeiffer, Felicity Jones, and Chloë Grace Moretz, fails to deliver on its promise of heartwarming Christmas cheer, critics say. The film, directed by Michael Showalter, attempts to blend the comedic chaos of “Home Alone” with the dysfunctional family dynamics of “The Family Stone,” but ultimately falls flat, leaving audiences with a lackluster viewing experience.
Reviewers are criticizing the film for its weak script, unbelievable family dynamics, and a lack of genuine humor. While the premise of a mother feeling undervalued during the holidays is relatable, the film’s execution veers into bizarre territory, with Pfeiffer’s character obsessing over winning a daytime TV contest.
Despite the A-list talent involved, including new music from established artists like Fleet Foxes and Gwen Stefani, critics say the film feels less like a genuine attempt at festive entertainment and more like a thinly veiled advertisement for Amazon’s retail offerings.
“Oh. What. Fun.” is now streaming on Amazon Prime.
