Description
A curmudgeonly instructor at a New England prep school is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually, he forms an unlikely bond with one of them — a damaged, brainy troublemaker — and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam.

And it went to me. He's one of those anti—Christmas movies that are fun to watch on holidays. It seems that they talk about topics that are completely antagonistic to Christmas, but at the same time they manage to inspire a festive spirit. I did it that way. In short, I am satisfied.
and this is the debut role of Dominic Sess, the actor who plays Angus Tully. good luck to him in the future. Yes, the whole cast is good!
To the collection, definitely.
I haven't watched such a heartfelt movie for a long time.
The story is about ordinary people climbing a ladder from a chicken coop. with light sadness (or not always light)
, sometimes you need to watch just such stories.
I read that the film was shot without special decorations and pavilions. Even the snow was real!
I think it's very cool, especially nowadays.
The picture is stylistically perfect for the mood
But from a sudden Dutch angle, he laughed.
Well, as a zoomil operator, it also looks good in the entourage of the film!
Well, "penis cancer in human form" now my new insult
The only annoying thing is teenage behavior like Tully's. no, it is clear that we are all different (character, temperament, heredity, got up on the wrong foot, etc.), but the moment in the gym caused a storm of indignation. Damn, what kind of thought drives you when you break the ban? there is zero sense, the consequences are obvious. why? my personal merit is not that I have experienced youth maximalism to a lesser extent, the mechanism of the reason for behaving this way is just interesting))
It's great to watch on a winter evening in pleasant company with a cup of cocoa and cookies.
So kind and inspiring, there are very few of them now
Of the Oscar films, this is my favorite. Paul Giamatti is wonderful, such an Uncle Walrus. I would have given him an Oscar for the lead role. I am glad to receive the Oscar for the supporting actress, I think it is absolutely deserved. You will want to review the film. It resembles the Dead Poets Society, the Breakfast Club, and even Home Alone with its Christmas atmosphere.
