Christmas In the Clouds (2001)

IMDB

What's wrong with this movie? Nothing, really, except the fact that Graham Greene isn't in it nearly as much as he should be, given that he's on the frickin' poster and everything.

As commented (every) elsewhere, it's nice to see an Indian (that is, American Indian) movie ignoring the stereotypes to just tell a story. Emmet Walsh is the only drunk here, and boy does he look terrible. All the years of playing the angry man have worried his face.

So, why not a higher rating? The movie never really takes off. It has a sit-com plot, which is handled well enough, but no real sparks fly. For a first time director, though, a fine start for a career of romantic comedies.

Finally, the reaction when the credits rolled: Holy Shit! That was Rita Coolidge?!

Where we saw it: Movie Theater | We deign to rate it: 65 outta 100
