Heather Graham stars as an uninvited guest with a mission to expose the imperfections in Brandy Norwood’s seemingly perfect life in the first trailer for Netflix’s upcoming holiday film, Best. Christmas. Ever! Directed by Mary Lambert, the holiday-themed feature is set to release on November 16th.
The film revolves around Charlotte (played by Heather Graham), who becomes increasingly jealous of her college friend Jackie (played by Brandy Norwood) and her annual boastful holiday newsletters. Determined to prove that Jackie’s life is not as flawless as it seems, Charlotte unexpectedly shows up at her doorstep just days before Christmas.
The trailer highlights the complex emotions that Graham’s character experiences as she confronts her past with her former best friend. “Being here reminds me of everything I wanted to do with my life and didn’t,” Graham’s character reflects. The tension between the two friends escalates further when Jackie confronts Charlotte, saying, “I knew you were sneaking around. What is your problem, girl?”
Jason Biggs and Matt Cedeño also star in the film, with Mary Lambert taking the helm as director. The script was written by Todd Calgi Gallicano and Charles Shyer, with Shyer, Steve Berman, Bryan Bordon, Jimmy Townsend, and David M. Wulf serving as executive producers.
In a recent interview with Netflix promotional site, Tudum, Lambert discussed the baggage that both main characters bring to the story. “It’s not as easy as it sounds, though,” the director explained. “And I think for me, the movie tries to say that. Let’s find something to laugh at in all this craziness.”
Heather Graham has two films, Suitable Flesh and The Other Zoey, set to release in October. Meanwhile, Brandy Norwood, who is also known for her successful music career, recently starred in the ABC drama series, Queens.
Best. Christmas. Ever! promises to be an entertaining and relatable holiday film that explores themes of jealousy, friendship, and the complexities of personal success. With its talented cast and Mary Lambert’s direction, the movie aims to deliver both comedic moments and heartfelt reflections on life’s inevitable imperfections.
As the release date approaches, fans eagerly anticipate experiencing the on-screen chemistry between Graham and Norwood, and witnessing the rollercoaster of emotions that their characters go through. Best. Christmas. Ever! presents a fresh take on the classic holiday film genre, offering a story that goes beyond the traditional themes of love and joy, and delves into the complexities of human relationships.
So mark your calendar for November 16th, when Best. Christmas. Ever! arrives on Netflix and invites audiences to laugh, reflect, and find joy in the imperfections of life during the holiday season.
