A charming and modern Christmas film

I hadn't appreciated Baltimorons was a Christmas film so seeing it at a festival in July was an unusual experience but to the film's credit it quickly immersed me in Christmas vibes. It successfully creates an appealing wintery aesthetic that is often the foundation of a seasonal film that stands the test of time.Baltimorons for me falls into a genre of the 'elevated Christmas film'. It has a very modern and serious topic at its centre while still deploying heartwarming, familiar troupes.The lead character is obnoxious and overbearing while simultaneously charming and vulnerable. The film centres on an eventful, spiralling Christmas eve spent with an unexpected companion. Both characters are well developed with their own issues to contend with and there is genuine chemistry in the performances.The Baltimorons is funny and charming and is certainly a successful Christmas film. Occasionally straining believability, as you wonder why the central characters stay with each other and how they manage to engage in so much madcap misadventure more or less unscathed. But it's nothing unusual of a film in this genre and I was very willing to go along with it.There is also a degree of insufferable behaviour from the main character as he pushes through with sheer force of will. But this is also key the the character himself and his own struggles. In fact I found him quite realistic to people I have have met in real life, just perhaps slightly exaggerated.Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience and well worth a watch when winter comes round.

Real Heart, Real People

A newly sober man's Christmas Eve dental emergency leads to an unexpected romance with his older dentist as they explore Baltimore together.Directed by Jay Duplass. Written by Michael Strassner and Duplass.Thisne stars Strassner as Cliff a man struggling with sobriety an the direction his life has taken. After a dental emergency on Christmas Eve leads him to the only dentist available on the holiday, DiDi played by Liz Larson. Struggling with the direction her own life has taken.Both Strassner and Larson shine with so much personality. Strassner with the quick wit and Larson with her captivating smile and independent personality.This film grabs your attention from the opening scene and carries you along with the characters as they spend the day together exploring Baltimore and sometimes committing felonies. You can't help but root for them. They are two broken people whose broken pieces just somehow fit together to make a whole.The feel of Baltimore looms large over the entire production. The streets, the Ravens, 34th Street. Even the weather. As a lifelong Texan I just felt cold. The music slow and steady Christmas tunes played on the piano, should've dragged scenes down yet managed to fit firmly in place.The idea of a mismatched couple isn't a new one but this one worked on so many levels. Funny, heart warming, heart breaking and even frustrating at times.IMDb has this one at 7.5/10 For me it's a 8/10A very solid movie that just pulls you in and keeps you emotionally invested for the entire 101 minutes.Right or wrong, weak or strong...these are my opinions.

Yes. And... more Romcoms like this, please!

"Baltimorons" is so convincing, so nuanced, so "gritty" that some people might night think it's a Romantic Comedy but it has all the elements: an improbable couple starts as love-hate; they bicker; have hi-jinks, break up and bond. This film is a little dark for the genre but that's hardly new ground.The two protagonists are damaged, lovable, complex, irritating. Importantly, I found myself completely "getting" them as a couple, as the movie progressed. And this was no easy task -- they are a very bad fit for each other.I wish movies would cast more genuine beauties like Liz Larsen. And by "genuine" I mean the people who are attractive in the real world, not Hollywood. I find it irritating when a Hollywood movie has a "homely girl" who, in the real world, was the most beautiful girl at their high school. Liz Larsen is real-world attractive -- which is not a qualified compliment. It's higher standard, in my opinion.Similarly, Michael Strassner is real-world charming. He's not George Clooney, he's the funniest guy in your office. And he is genuinely funny -- often as a coping or self-defense tool. I found myself laughing out-loud (although I was sometimes the only one in the theater.) The gritty feel of the movie lets the humor catch you off-guard but that's another real-life aspect of the move. Like laughing in the hospital.The characters' internal damage and dysfunction are also real-world stuff -- addiction, woundedness, cynicism, guardedness, personal chaos, pettiness. If you don't have these, you know somebody who does. When the characters build a functional relationship with these very familiar challenges, I found it tremendously hopeful.The supporting characters are all good, even though they are given little runway for it. Olivia Luccardi does a good "I'm angry and done but I still love you." role. DiDi's ex-husband and new wife (names?) were a stand-out. They play "Creeps but not evil." well. In lesser movies, you wonder, "What did she ever see in him?" Not this movie.Lastly, I've never been to Baltimore but the movie seems authentic -- Jonathan Bregel shoots it as both a mess and beautiful. I could totally imagine why people make good lives there, despite it's reputation.If I had any criticism, it's the plot, which is mostly, "This happened. Then that happened and then another thing..." I would have preferred more structure. I suspect this was intentional -- improv is a major theme and the plot is a series of situations that the characters react to... "Yes. And..."If you watch movies for escapism, don't let my "it's real world" discourage you. With "The Baltimorons" you escape into other people's real world which is funny, beautiful and hopeful.
