Oh. What. Fun. (2025)
Literally, not. At Christmastime, mothers are overloaded with preparing the presents, the food and the entertainment. Their kids underappreciate the work they do. This Amazon Prime film tries to bring this situation to our collective attention. Honestly, who is the target audience? The kids? No, the moms.
The whole point of the film can be summed up with this one bit of dialog:
[Claire sighs]
I don’t know, maybe I’m-I’m-I’m afraid of, um, if I tell you that, that…
[crying] if I let the cat out of the bag, that… then you’ll know that you don’t need me anymore… and I’ll lose you.
Yeah, maybe that’s it.
I think that’s what it is.
Uh, that’s my biggest fear.
And maybe I’m always gonna need you to need me just… a tiny little bit.
[sniffles]
Is that so wrong?
