About This Movie

So, 'Smith and Jones: The Home-Made Xmas Video' is this quirky little gem from '87 that captures the chaos of a family Christmas like few others. You’ve got Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones at the helm, playing off each other’s comedic timing brilliantly. The pacing is all over the place in a way that feels genuinely festive - a bit messy, just like the holiday season. The Aldershot family’s antics with a video camera really amplify the home video aesthetic, giving it an almost documentary feel, which is a nice twist. The practical effects are minimal, but that just adds to the charm. It’s the kind of film that just revels in its own chaos, making it distinctly different from more polished holiday fare.
