Why watch this film?
Starring Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds and Octavia Spencer, director Sean Anders ('Instant Family') brings the Charles Dickens story of A Christmas Carol to modern times, but with a new twist: here, Scrooge turns the tables against the holiday ghosts. It's an interesting premise, and while the cast doesn't do much with it (Reynolds and Ferrell are their usual selves), it becomes a fun and harmless holiday movie, with songs created by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Oscar winners for 'La La Land').

From the same director
Instant Family
Mark Wahlberg (‘The Fighter’) is back in comedy, this time alongside Rose Byrne (‘Spy’) as a couple who decide to adopt grown children, creating an “instant family” - as the original English title says. With a light humor about the challenges of being a father and mother, plus delightful performances from the child cast, ‘Instant Family’ is a great movie to watch in Sessão da Tarde mood.
Comedy
The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed
Success at the Cannes Festival. Ann faces stagnation in a casual BDSM relationship, a mediocre job, and a conflicted Jewish family. Amid growing alienation, she struggles to find her way in this self-deprecating comedy.
Die Hart 2: Die Harter
Die Hart 2: Die Harter is the unlikely Amazon Prime Video sequel starring Kevin Hart (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle). Heavily anchored in slapstick comedy, the film shows Hart planning an innovative action movie with improvised and unexpected scenes to cement his legacy as the greatest. However, a blind spot leads him to fall victim to a vengeful plot from his past. With echoes of The Fall Guy, it's a fun, exaggerated, and outrageous comedy film, just like the previous one. It doesn't surprise at all, but it might get a few good laughs from the audience.
Poolman
Directorial feature debut of Chris Pine (Star Trek), Poolman is the story of a pool cleaner who inexplicably finds himself embroiled in an investigation that ties him to corrupt politicians and criminals in Los Angeles, revealing truths about his beloved hometown—and about himself. Despite great performances from a cast including Annette Bening, Danny DeVito, Jennifer Jason Leigh, DeWanda Wise, and John Ortiz, the film has been panned by critics, and not without reason: the script is somewhat chaotic and inconsistent in tone, but Pine manages to make something fun out of the movie. A potential cult classic.
The Price of Nonna’s Inheritance
When a grandmother falls for a cheeky suitor with dubious intentions, her family devises a secret plan to protect her life — and their inheritance.
