Bad behavior
3 December 2023
Everyone in this movie is far worse than rude to everyone else. In some cases bodily harm was done. And this is a Christmas movie. Ho, ho, ho. The comedy is mostly raunchy. So if this is your cup of tea, you will love this movie.

The story is pretty simple until later in the movie when some secret surprises start popping up. Even with those twists, the story is pretty simple. The pace is slow.

The dialogue is fast and furious and, did I mention, raunchy.

James kills time at Hayley's house while waiting for the weather to clear. Actually it is the story that kills time here. The antics are somewhat entertaining despite no progress in the story. James seems to be a decent guy.

Hayley is meanwhile suffering at James' home where she eventually learns the first big secret. Hayley is unbelievably rude to his very proper father. I'm a little surprised that Brit viewers could accept this behavior because it seemed to me like Dad could have had her put away for good in a very dark dungeon given their society structure.

Things pick up toward the end. More secrets are revealed and things get wrapped up.
