The annual is it/isn’t it Die Hard question 2025

[PhilM]

Is it? Probably not, it's more of a movie set on Christmas than a Christmas movie in my opinion.

Should we care? No, let people enjoy it and have fun with it, who cares honestly?

The core thematic elements of a Christmas film are: family and togetherness, hope and redemption, love and moral lesson.

It has all of these, alongside it being set at Christmas, there's a Christmas tree, a Christmas party and a man flying through the air with a ho, ho, ho!

It wasn't what I was expecting. One lad in the movie wasn't expecting it either so much so that they had to strap his Christmas satsuma into his mouth with a rubber strap but from the way his eyes were bulging you could tell he was still a bit taken aback.

Anyway, hopefully a bit more relaxing a movie today as we move onto the letter d.

Christmas Dogging is going to be great. I hope they rescue a puppy or something.
