"The Holdover" starring Paul Giamatti

[Lucky_Lefty]

Didn't see a thread for it (and doubt this is a Coli type of movie), but Giamatti really shines in this movie. As a matter of fact, he, along with Da'Vine Randolph and Dominic Sessa, did their thing. Sessa was pretty believable for a first-time role, and Randolph was easily the soul of the movie. She should get a Best Supporting Actress nod, IMO. I'm pretty much a Giamatti stan, so if his name is attached to anything, I'm there on day one. The movie was funny as shyt while also tugging repeatedly on the heartstrings. Easily 5/5 for me.

Paul Giamatti is a great actor. I'll check for this.

Damn, I'm seeing it now.

I want to see Iron Claw, this, and the apparent Trainwreck that is Aquaman 2 lol

This might be top on the list now.

Saw this at a premiere in October, and I liked it. It's not perfect, I have read some scathing criticism and some glowing praise, and I am somewhere less on both those ends. It has some very formulaic writing. I loved the down to earth direction and scenes the movie created. The black character I can see being irritating, or worse to some. She kinda was and is. Great actress, great performance, but her role is probably one that needed a rewrite.

The third act where they went to Boston, the movie did not need, we knew enough about the characters

Kinda funny. White humor but nonetheless funny. Only 1 hr in though

This is pretty good, especially for a Christmas movie.

Pretty hard to find showings for this. I'm not going out at 9:45 on a Sunday to see this, they tripping. May as well wait for Hulu
