We discuss The Holdovers (2023), a film that tells the story of a cranky history teacher, grieving cook, and troubled student forced to spend their holiday break with each other. It was somehow, improbably, nominated for 5 Oscars. It's supposed to be a comedy, but aren't comedies supposed to be funny? It feels like it wants to be a feel-good, uplifting Christmas movie, but it doesn't do that well either. It has all the grace of an elderly hungover man doing hot yoga.
