	Author	Review
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"True, most Christmas flicks tend toward the trite and predictable naturally but they just don’t have to be quite this insufferable (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Jen Chaney The Washington Post	"Love the Coopers is one of the most jumbled, tonally misguided holiday movies in recent memory (...) A complete waste of the time and talents"	NEG
United States	Tim Appelo The Wrap	"A Messy Yet Heartfelt Christmas. (...) is sprawling, awkward and contrived, yet brimming with goodwill toward men."	NEU
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"Now that awards season is upon us, allow me to suggest a new category: Most Extravagantly Wasted Cast (...) a Christmas comedy of numbing tedium and tackiness"	NEG
United States	Nick Schager Variety	"The film lurches awkwardly between gloominess and giddiness, never hitting the boisterously bittersweet groove it seeks"	NEG
United States	Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"Love the Coopers is a sorry excuse for a Christmas movie, but interesting for how it goes about destroying any vestige of surprise or suspense"	NEG
