Review of Love the Coopers (2015) by Acacia — 14 Dec 2015

This movie was not on my must see list, but a friend really wanted to see it. I expected a stupid, slapstick, family "comedy" with lots of crude jokes and pratfalls. Wrong! I really enjoyed this movie! I found myself getting very involved with the individual stories of each family member.

This is not a horrible movie. The story I was least interested in was the line involving Ed Helms. It was not memorable for me. The plot line with Olivia Wilde was probably the most engrossing, but Marisa Tomei's story was pretty cool too.

The thing I cared least about was the story involving Diane Keaton and her husband John Goodman. It was horribly contrived and not believable at all to me. It is not "The Family Stone" for sure, but it is better than.

Any other Christmas family movies.
