This movie was not awful by any means, just confusing off the jump really.
Started off strong with a chance meeting between old friends on the street while the main character is breaking up with his mistress. He almost literally runs into his buddy while fleeing a group of angry Santa's and the movie begins.
Cut to months later when in the movie the Covid-19 pandemic starts. Phil's family decides to quarantine in their vacation home in the Hamptons and shortly thereafter Charlie finds them and convinces them to let him stay there because he's lonely in the city. This is where the confusion for me starts. They clearly set up a rule that Charlie is to stay on his side of the house with a literal line of tape, they set this up to seem like it'll be very important as the plot progresses but instead the next morning Charlie breaches the line and everyone is fine with it, in fact it only comes up again once the son goes onto Charlie's side of the line later on in the movie. They try really hard to set up a relationship between Charlie and the son but it comes off as forced and uncomfortable.
The movie kind of just meanders until it ends... There are entertaining moments but overall it's just strange and seems confused about what it is and what it's trying to say.
