Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
I HATE CHRISTMAS follows Gianna (Pilar Fogliati), a 30-year-old nurse who's the only person content with her life. The whole world and her family aren't content with her life because she's single and childless. After a particularly rough family dinner (where she's seated at the kids table), Gianna says that she's bringing her boyfriend home for Christmas. There's just one small problem: there's no boyfriend. With just 24 days before the holiday, will Gianna find a boyfriend in time for Christmas?
Is It Any Good?
The show has an entertaining, solid narrative and dialogue, plus quirky character dynamics, but the show's cardinal sin, being single and/or childless, gets a bit overzealous. In I Hate Christmas, the jokes on sexism and gender (and there are a lot) are mixed: some are funny, and some fall flat. The sexual jokes, emphasis on romance as worth, and strong language make this suitable for older teens.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about how being single is portrayed in I Hate Christmas. How are single people treated in this world versus those who are married? Do you think it's similar to real life?
What kind of pressure does Gianna face from society? From her family? How does it affect her relationships with them? With herself?
