The first of this season’s Christmas movies from Netflix is Best. Christmas. Ever! It has some big names attached to it - Brandy Norwood, Heather Graham, and Jason Biggs. Will it live up to the star power?

Every year, Jackie Jennings (Norwood) sends out a holiday newsletter detailing the lives of her family members. Jackie’s life seems to be picture perfect, unlike the life of her old friend Charlotte (Graham). When Charlotte, her husband Rob (Biggs), and their kids wind up at Jackie’s house a few days before Christmas, Charlotte tries to prove that Jackie’s newsletters are nothing but lies.

The bulk of this movie lays at Graham’s feet. There is a sub-plot of the kids trying to figure out if Santa is real but a majority of the movie revolves around Charlotte’s hijinks trying to snoop around Jackie’s house. Of course, that means that there isn’t anything too surprising going on plot-wise. However, both Graham and Biggs are comedy standards. Both of them are perfectly matched with Norwood’s perfect persona. I actually found myself enjoying this quite a bit. I’m glad Netflix usually pulls through for me.
