Come on, it’s set at Christmas and it’s integral to the plot. More evidence of the social and
cultural decline of this once great nation.

38% do, for the record.

It's an action movie set at Christmas, but not a Christmas movie. The only way Christmas factors into the plot is that everyone is in the office because of a Christmas party.

IIRC the original Lethal Weapon is also set at Christmas. I wouldn't call that a Christmas movie either.

Never seen it.
Am I part of the last percentage?
(44% no
38% yes
% undecided/haven't seen?)

Of course it's a Xmas movie. My adult DS always says it's not Xmas till he's seen Die Hard and heard Fairytale of New York.

Totally a Christmas movie!

Yeah being set at Christmas makes it a Christmas movie. but I also think fairytale of new York is an acceptable Christmas carol.

Definitely a Christmas movie.

I don't consider it a Christmas movie in the Hallmark genre, i.e. romantic comedy, but in terms of watching every year during the christmas holiday period I would consider it a Christmas movie.

I watched it for the first time on Saturday night and I completely agree it is totally a Christmas movie. I whacked my partner every time a Christmas decoration appeared as he is in the other camp 😅

It is Christmassy throughout.
