TV Preview Does Not do this movie justice

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 2018)

First, this is a great Christmas movie, but a little more on that latter.
Second, this is a buddy movie! One that consists of the two people who could not be more different.
Third, this is a VERY funny movie and there in lies its strength.
Sadly, the TV preview makes one think this is a movies of prejudice and discrimination the south in the 1960's. But it's about a white average Joe and a cultured black man. who help each other become more well rounded and better human beings overall.
It reminds us of the segregated south and it's evils (alas too much of which still remains) but it does it almost surreptitiously. It makes it personal, so we can understand it better.
However, without this aspect it would still be a good movie, but with it, it makes it great.
While the acting of the two leads could. not be better don't overlook the performance of Linda Cardellini.
before As for it being a Christmas movie, Christmas is about family, friends and peace on earth good will to men, See it. You'll see exactly what I mean.
