A Loud House Christmas
What's the Story?
Lincoln Loud finds himself struggling to keep his big, boisterous family together for Christmas in a A LOUD HOUSE CHRISTMAS. Lincoln is preparing for a fun, traditional holiday celebration at home when he learns that his siblings Lori, Luna, and Luan all have other plans. Seeing this as an opportunity to travel, this sudden change of plans prompts Mr. and Mrs. Loud to plan a trip to Miami for Christmas. Lincoln feels the holiday will be ruined if they don't do all their all normal traditions. He frantically enlists his best friend Clyde to help him plan a way to sabotage everyone's plans so they can spend the holiday together at home. But will Lincoln's ideas save Christmas for the Loud family or create total chaos in the town of Royal Woods?
Is It Any Good?
A silly, holiday-themed spin-off of The Loud House series, this is a light-hearted, prank-riddled movie that sparks holiday joy. While Lincoln is comically desperate to save the day, he does so with mischief and mayhem -- not serving as a great role models. A Loud House Christmas does highlight the ups and down of being a part of a large family, but lacks diversity in the community and among the main characters. Lincoln displays compassion for his family and perseverance in his plan throughout the film.
