Jack and Jill is an Adam Sandler film in which he plays both Jack and Jill as twins. The films premise is one that we are all but too familiar with when it comes to Christmas movies. Jill is the annoying sister that wreaks havoc on Jack’s family during the holiday season. The movie concludes to us seeing that family bonds are strong and that the holidays bring families close together. These films are typical of the American thanksgiving/Christmas Holiday Season but for some reason though we know the happy outcome we continue to flock to theatres to reiterate our belief in the sanctity of the family.

Harold and Kumar’s third installment of their film franchise take on a different and more up close angle…3D. Like their other films this movie surrounds itself on their ‘stoner motif’ and is definitely not a family film. However it does take place around the holiday seasons resulting in the two burning down Harold’s father-in-laws prize Christmas tree. Not a holiday classic in the FW opinion however, we are sure it has a certain audience out there!

Arthur Christmas

Lastly we have something a little more family oriented on the FW Holiday Movie list, Arthur Christmas. Arthur, the youngest son of Santa Claus is terrified when he finds out that one child of 600 million was left out of Santa’s delivery. Due to the technological advances in the North Pole Arthur, who is also the misfit son- attempts to take a rookie mission to bring the child their gift before dawn! This looks like a great family flick. Although animated, its all-star cast is sure to capture the hearts of children and adults alike.
