The Holdovers is about a grinch like Teacher who has to look after a group of teen-age school boys during the Holiday Vacation.
The main thing I liked about this movie was that it was not an over the top story line and typical Christmas movie about Santa.
The Holdovers is more focusing on character building that happens during Christmas. It is not only what happens to the boys, but what happens to the caretaker.
This is an R rated Christmas comedy drama and yes this movie reminds me of A Christmas Story and also Home alone and a Charlie Brown Christmas. It has a heavy reminder of what is Christmas is all about but it has Adult language and is rated R so not for little children. As soon as you see this give your family and friends a hug . The Holdovers is a 10 to of 10 star must see new Holiday classic
