Review of The Fitzgerald Family Christmas (2012) by Sol C — 24 Oct 2012
The film was so so. I got to see the film at a Long Island Film Festival. Of the films that Ed Burns directed, The Groomsmen is still my favorite. This one reminded me a lot of movies like The Family Stone, Home For the Holidays, and even a little like The Royal Tenenbaums.
The film needed a rewrite. It was too predictable. Also there were too many characters/family members and subplots in the film, that I forgot about a couple of them midway through the film. The pacing was also off.
On the positive, all the actors are well cast. I know Burns was trying to cast an actor from his past films in this film. Connie Britton and Mike McGlone were awesome in the film.
