Sloane and Jackson have wonderful chemistry...

Holidate is a hilarious and heartfelt addition to the “holiday romcom” canon, carried commendably by Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2022

Every scene is drudgery, every joke is homework, and every plot point is hell.

Full Review | Apr 5, 2022

The biggest issue with Holidate is that none of the characters are likable, least of all our two would-be lovers.

Full Review | Aug 28, 2021

This is more of a raunchy, well-made Hallmark Christmas special. It's a lighthearted escape that reminds us of how we use to celebrate the holidays before tragic times.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jun 23, 2021

Rancid self-awareness and a complete lack of sincerity rule the holidate in this shallow rom-com.

The movie is like those family Christmas dinners, once a year you can bear it but you certainly wouldn't repeat it. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 4.8/10 | Jan 3, 2021

Holidate is far from a perfect rom-com, but it's a close to ideal distraction for a winter night at home, snuggled on the sofa in pajamas with a glass of Chardonnay in hand.

...Holidate improves considerably as it progresses...

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 19, 2020

I liked every one of the actors in this film but I didn't like the quagmire of crudeness that permeated just about every scene.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 18, 2020

Instead of doing something interesting and fresh, John Whitesell and his team have chosen to retread the same old eye-roll-worthy rom-com cliches that have plagued the laziest examples of the genre.

What started as a clever storyline quickly turned into an onscreen groundhog day-situation. The characters became monotonous and somewhat dull.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 22, 2020

This is not the wittiest or funniest rom-com you'll ever see, but there is something about it that keeps things in the watchable zone throughout.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 17, 2020

Holidate fails at being a good rom-com. The film is incredibly messy and it was indeed a struggle to sit through.

Full Review | Nov 13, 2020

Raunchy romcom has sex, heavy drinking, and language

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 13, 2020

For all there is to criticize, Holidate does surprise us by presenting a relationship with an age gap in a positive way.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Nov 13, 2020

The film tries too hard to be a parody of romantic comedies. Maybe that was the general idea initially but the director seemingly lost touch with it as the film progressed.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 10, 2020

On the upside, Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey share a cute chemistry and both are adequately good in their roles. But that alone isn't enough to make Holidate a holiday treat to crave for.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 10, 2020

I wish the film had the guts to sit here longer, but, instead, it continues with the unnecessary chaos...

Full Review | Nov 10, 2020

... Holidate is an often thrifty dose of pure, adulterated entertainment, even if the marketing would have you groan at its seemingly bored premise.
