Christmas With The Coopers (formerly Love The Coopers) is an alleged comedy so unfunny, based on the trailer, that it will make you HATE the Coopers. However, the title is set out on the poster so that it’s more like “Love, the Coopers” but without the comma.
When four generations of the Cooper clan come together for their annual Christmas Eve celebration, a series of unexpected visitors and unlikely events turn the night upside down, leading them all toward a surprising rediscovery of family bonds and the spirit of the holiday.
Yes, there are lots of jolly japes to be had, not least in the oh-so-unhilarious plot line that the stunning Olivia Wilde can’t get a boyfriend, and so has to ask a random male stranger to be her boyfriend for the vening. You know EXACTLY how that will play out, and they’ll end up making babies before the night ends. Oh, my days(!)
There’s a large, well-known cast to this which also includes Amanda Seyfried, Marisa Tomei, Ed Helms, Diane Keaton, John Goodman, Anthony Mackie, Alan Arkin and June Squibb.
Americans will begin to suffer Christmas With The Coopers on November 13th when this is released over there, while us UK lot have until December 4th for that.
