Serpentine? A ball of snakes and vipers under one roof? And even on the eve of Christmas? What a miracle? Who invented this? Yes, nothing in general is out of hand. People, the company decided to get together. Again. Again. Last year we sat at the same table and now we are in the same sleigh. As the peeling know ‘George’, ‘Michael’, ‘Sophie’, ‘Clarisse’ … No outsider. Only their own.

Comedy and horror with dramatic sets? What a news. What is it that the British puppeteers have come up with for fun? How are the suffering audience going to treat? Suffering? Oh yeah. Undoubtedly. For the list of actors involved in the picture makes you pay close attention to this work. Keira Knightley is a super star! Matthew Goode is a well-written handsome man who has not lost his gloss of attractiveness for ladies over the years. Lily-Rose Depp is the daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, promoting her own film career. Gorgeous Annabelle Wallis, amazing imagination with precision of forms … Isn’t it enough? And in the backing vocals, in the dancing, the ‘little people’, the ‘little people’ are more modest …

I took ‘Silent Night’ as a black comedy. Still, after all, the revelations of banter, here in the beyond. Stiffness and stupidity are ridiculed, commercialism and emptiness under fire of criticism. And this is not a complete list. The author peppers and salts his ‘brew’ from the heart. You will not immediately realize, you will not immediately see and understand the subtleties of English humor. Ladies – as usual, sting ‘each other’, competing, maliciously, bulging … and so on and so forth (how many things are messed up in the souls). Men – wipe away their tears, indulge, condescendingly silent, and when they are not at all patient – they creak, clang their teeth.

Cars are rushing to the festive feast. From afar. And the beginning of this tape is like a return to the good detective story of 1974 – ‘Purely English Murder’. We peer into faces, we listen attentively to words, we draw information about characters, people from scraps of words, phrases, barbs. Indeed – is it worth going? Shouldn’t we turn back? Or maybe, well, his goblin ‘these vinaigrettes, these salads, potatoes, rutabagas’ … and the owners, along with the guests. But the step has been taken. And it’s too late to retreat. The holiday is a beacon …

The ‘Serpentarium’ is in front of us with the following sketch. We got together. We are together. The fun begins. Everyone makes their own contribution to the overall ‘balance’. Here are two chocolates to our attention – white and black practitioners of the same-sex beauty of relationships are quick, and the theme of coke, the choice of priorities in life, sounds, and the delights of the table by scourging, and sexual ‘raskardage’ in memories with whom, when, where, what was – it was worth only To drink a little, and champagne with bubbles – it hit my head …

TV and the media are brainwashing and addiction of immature brains – the Russians will gasse everyone … Well, isn’t it fun? As it is, fun. And when it is from the mouth of a child at the table and almost in the repetition of speech, diction, and ostracism of the commentator, it is doubly fun.

And everything in this puzzle is great. And everything in this puzzle is harmonious. Fed, full, drunk. Ahead is the night. Anticipation is just about it! Now! So – and-ho-ho-ho! What, and-ho-ho-ho? Yes – everything! What your heart desires! Depending on the scriptwriter’s thought in soaring. Horror is the declared theme, but they were not. So the guests will begin to freak out, to roam each other from midnight until morning … they will do this …

But, cinema is for that and cinema, in order to have an unpredictable zest. And the time has come for that. Having passed the middle of the timing, the afterburner is switched on at the British brainchild. Soars to such heights that not one clairvoyant will guess. A cold shower has the same effect. Dumbfounded – a feeling of surprise of a spontaneously opened mouth. What is this all for? This ‘swamp’ splashed so nicely and so beautifully …

Apparently, this is the main hole in the film. The pomp of the first movement – to the applause. The second – melancholy and sadness with gloom evoke. Why was it so wise? For what? Obviously oversalted! Obviously peppered! Here, funny people …

And yet, thanks to the optimistic start, I will give 7 points. Before the romantic comedy Four Weddings and One Funeral, the tape certainly does not hold out, but it looks so much like a 1994 film, so it looks like …
