Plot: Fed up with being single on holidays, two strangers agree to be each other's platonic plus-ones all year long, only to catch real feelings along the way.
My Movie Review: The movie is a jolly affair far from perfect but has perfect moments with its smart concept of having a date for every holiday and somebody to spend time with your family! Holidate is really fun and hilarious showing what we do on each occasion its just enjoyable to watch how it come together but some holiday's were cut short I wish they extend some scenes or do more in that certain holiday to make the moment last nevertheless I've had amazing time! Emma Roberts is kinda cheesy here but it works and do her a favor I haven't seen a good comedy romance in a while sometimes we just need these movies you'll know predict the end:) Luke Bracey is a surprise leading man I didn't expect how smooth he is the accent is also good to hear his added value to the film this rom-com setting works for best tall guys like him will make girls smitten and giddy at the same time or even fall in love if you by chance to dig deep!!
Critics Consensus: Holidate's self-aware approach to rom-com formula is refreshing, but it's offset by a questionable premise and unnecessarily vulgar jokes. I wish the film had the guts to sit here longer, but, instead, it continues with the unnecessary chaos... Holidate falls in the bland no-man's land between being sharp enough to appeal to adults (à la Bridesmaids) and tame enough to watch with the whole family. The best thing that "Holidate" has going for it is that Roberts and Bracey do have great chemistry, but they just don't have a story or a script that can do it justice. Holidate may be the movie equivalent of Peeps -- without substance, artificially flavored, consumed as an afterthought -- but Roberts is the bright dye that will make you forget the time it made you gag. "Holidate" won't change your mind about the tread-worn challenges of
romantic comedies, but its leads leverage their charms nicely. Holidate's rancid self-awareness and a complete lack of sincerity rule the holidate in this shallow wide rom-com!!
