What critics compared Office Christmas Party to
Evolutionary biologist Casey Bracket (Olivia Munn, Office Christmas Party) encounters a predator in a secret government lab, it unsurprisingly gets loose, and so she teams up with McKenna and a crew of post-traumatic stress-suffering ex-soldiers.
On they go, picking up Paul (T.J. Miller, Office Christmas Party ), buried in rubble, along the way, before catching up with the captain (Vincent Cassel, The Emperor of Paris ) and two others, played by Jessica Henwick (Netflix’s Iron Fist ) and John Gallagher Jr. ( 10 Cloverfield Lane ).
Though the film marks the official launch of an expansive Netflix holiday slate that also includes sequels to Vanessa Hudgens’ cheesy romance The Princess Switch and Kurt Russell’s family adventure The Christmas Chronicles , Holidate is more in line with the bawdy ethos of Office Christmas Party or A Bad Moms Christmas —at least until it fully embraces the rom-com hokiness it lampoons at the start.
