Fuck it. Im livetweeting Holidate
the idea that somehow being single during the holidays is a fate worse than death is the lie that romcoms tell us.
in reality, single during holidays is the best! don't have to spend time in someone else's dysfunctional family...

can experience your own family's dysfunction without having to explain to an outsider...
there's a recycled urkle joke that i know, even tho i can't prove it, is inspired by new girl
these characters are so obnoxious. Emma Roberts is somehow thirty years old and never mastered another emotion besides "peeved"
Emma Roberts' character actually gasps "fuck no" while her younger brother proposes to his girlfriend and we are supposed to find this endearingly quirky lol
the male lead (no idea what this actor's name is) is really charmless
also the chronology of this movie is that it starts at Christmas and then we are supposed to believe that there is still a rush of social events necessitating a "holidate" when we all know nothing happens between 12/26 and 1/30
"i can wear a dress without getting slut shamed" she says, as if this is ever a concern in a healthy relationship? what man are you dating who slut shames you for wearing a full length evening gown?
also...why are they going to a NYE party boo-ed up if they both are unhappy being single?? Just hook up with someone on the dance floor??
the one black male character with a speaking part literally says "as a black man, let me speak on this" and what that is in relation to is whether or not the lead should go to a wedding with a girl he likes...
the one black guy character is dressed as a literal black panther at halloween this movie is garbage lol
it also takes place in a miraculously aggressively integrated Chicago

also they give emma roberts lines worrying about her ex boyfriend's "young" girlfriend but emma roberts also looks like a teenager?
there is a gratuitous public shitting scene. about 10 yrs too late.
