An oddly humbling viewing experience. I don’t usually review Netflix’s more generic Christmas rom-coms because there’s only so many times you can say something is bland and lifeless. They’re all very bad in very similar ways, and because they don’t really presume to be anything more than what they are, I just end up feeling like I’m punching down. But in this case, each time I felt as if I’d caught Holiday Rush engaging in some seriously dumb or incompetent storytelling, the film immediately changed course to reveal how those narrative contradictions were actually critical to its thematic work. I mean, the whole thing is still totally bland and lifeless in all the ways you’d expect. But it’s also a nice reminder of all the hard work and thought that goes into making this junk. 🎁

“There are five of us. That is a whole mess of people in that tiny house.”
y’all are hating on the kid from Marriage Story but let me tell you he’s got nothing on these spoiled brats here 😩 most annoying shits this side of christmas eve.
i was hoping they were gonna have to pay for it at some point but alas the only one who truly had to slave was their dad. liked Romany Malco a lot, he brings fun & feels into an otherwise super bland story. i’m disappointed that they didn’t give the radio station more screen time and we barely ever see Rush actually work. main attraction is Roxy though cause she holds this thing together with her thousand watt smile. Sonequa Martin-Green marry meeeeeeeee

Holiday Rush is a average overall holiday movie meaning it's not a terrible movie but also not a great movie neither. While it has decent performances, not too bad of a production quality, some heartwarming moments, and good music. It also has unlikeable uninspired characters, a plot that has been done multiple times, weak direction, and tedious pacing.
Worth a look if you got nothing better to do, but there are better Christmas movies to watch out there.
5/10Watched on Netflix (after all, a Netflix Original movie).

I really was not a fan and even though I watched it a few hours ago all I can remember is that the dad is super rich from being on the radio and that the kids are so annoying. Seriously, if I were to talk to my parents that way I would get in so much trouble! It was just frustrating to watch and it made me more annoyed than anything else! I would not recommend this movie, it really was not good and I wanted to like it but it was a let down. I think my mom somewhat enjoyed it though!

Every year Netflix releases a handful of original Christmas films, some are good, some are so bad they are good and others are just plain bad, 'Holiday Rush' is just plain bad.

It's unfortunate the film wasn't just about the radio host and his producer developing a romantic relationship while building their own station. I really would have liked to see built up romance between those two. Instead, the kids get a lot of runtime and their dialog was horrid. I know there are spoiled kids out there like that... just check out the White House... but I don't need it in my family holiday romcom.
There are worse films out there and some might dig this, but I cannot in good conscience recommend.
