Was she actually ever on this set?

For that matter, whats with her elementary-school, Tiny Timesque costume as a beggar woman?

Did Debbie Allen agree to direct this movie just to insist on having lots of choreography?

The choreography is mostly high kicks and light twirling, but I will take it.

Probably very few, but you should all go watchThe Other Two.

Can we agree that Josh Segarra as a hot minister singing about how he loves his wife isFleabag-core?

Who wrote Christines spoken-word lines, specifically the rhyme of jurisdiction-eviction-friction?

Also, can I get a job as one of those gay men?

Why is Jennifer Lewis still willing to do Christines hair even after Christine decides to evict the whole town?

Should all movies just have a scene where Treat Williams sings sadly about his little lamp store?

I hope if I have another hallucination it wont be wearing rhinestones Christine, how dare you?

(Obviously yes.)

Or is Dolly trying to blend the two to offer a new form of politics?

Im willing to read a dissertation on this subject.

Incredible filmmaking at work.

What the hell is a Christmas dance?

Is this like theHarry PotterYule Ball?

Young Treat Williams gave another girl a ring in the coatroom!

Christine did one dance with a suspicious, very 70s guy at the Christmas dance and then got pregnant?

She had to give away her baby?

Seems way too moralistic for me!

Okay the dad singing to his child in the hospital is maybe too intense for this movie to handle?

Weve veered into heavy territory here.

Dolly is now appearing within Christines cup-holder how much green-screen work did she do for this movie?

Is any excuse to give Jennifer Lewis a whole gospel number a good excuse?

Is Christine Baranski shouting This isnt my brain tumor, Im just in a hurry!

the funniest this movie has been?

Was anyone on Earth surprised at the reveal that the child Christine gave away was of course Josh Segarra?

Or that Christines brain tumor was magically healed?

It feels like these townspeople all forgive Christine Baranski too quickly?

She was trying to evict them!

Though maybe I would forgive Christine Baranski extremely quickly just for being Christine Baranski.

Never mind, carry on.

On a moral level, I hope so!

In a larger sense, whatre the economics of keeping a small Christmas square going through the warmer months?

Can Christine and Josh Segarra work together on some ideas for new revenue streams?

I can only hope.
