SNAPSHOT
An American couple bring their 10 year old daughter, Claire, to her grandfather Lawrence’S hotel in The Dolomites, Italy. They usually come for Christmas but this year it’s August. The fact is they are breaking up and want Lawrence to be the one to tell Claire, especially as he has such a special relationship with his granddaughter. Once Claire realizes [sic] there’s not going to be a family Christmas this year, she insists on everyone making it Christmas right here, right now in August, including flying in her other grandparents. Claire, in collusion with her grandfather, plan activities that are designed to re-unite her parents. The whole process backfires and actually puts her grandparents’ marriage into unexpected difficulties. A fun, warm, touching family comedy, all shot in the glorious Dolomites, Italy.

Honestly, I don’t care that the plot for A Sudden Case of Christmas has been done countless times before.
It looks bright, delightful and wonderful and honestly the fact that it also stars Danny Devito is even more an inducement to check it out.
Quite whether it comes to Australia for our usual very summery Christmas is unknown at this stage, but here’s hoping it does because it will match the mood and style of our festive celebrations perfectly!
A Sudden Case of Christmas has a limited US theatrical and wide PVOD release on 7 November, with DVD following on 19 November. (source Ho! Ho! Holiday Viewing! @SleepyKittyPaw on X (previously Twitter)
