Plot
Claire Clauster (Michelle Pfeiffer) is the glue that holds her chaotic, lovable family together every holiday season. From perfectly frosted cookies to meticulously wrapped gifts, no one decks the halls quite like Claire. But this year, as her grown kids and distracted husband get swept up in their own seasonal dramas, they make one crucial mistake: they forget their mom. By the time they realize she's missing, Claire’s already set off on a festive adventure of her own - one that doesn’t involve cooking, cleaning, or coordinating anyone else’s chaos. As her family scrambles to find her and salvage their Christmas, Claire rediscovers what the holidays mean when you’re finally free to put yourself first.

The Jersey Momma's Spoiler-Free Review
Oh. What. Fun. is super cute, and moms all over the world will certainly appreciate this one. There's not a mom I know who doesn't feel underappreciated (at least once) in her life by her own family. And then there are times when you ask your kids or your family to "just do this one thing for me" and they don't - it's maddening! But I digress. This movie is about a mom/grandma who has finally had her last straw (that moment when they accidentally leave her behind kind of crushed me) and impulsively leaves. But wait till you see where she goes! I related to this movie as a mom, but also as a daughter- it made me realize that I often take my own mom for granted, too. The movie is not just about appreciating the moms in our lives- it's also about telling them how much we need them, and why. It's not just about appreciating moms, but appreciating each other as a whole, and communicating with one another (not always an easy task in families, amiright?). Michelle Pfeiffer is so lovable as Claire, and Eva Longoria was also quite relatable as Zazzy (but I won't spoil it for you). Be on the lookout for a catchy new holiday song by Gwen Stefani in the film (you'll hear it during the end credits). Oh. What. Fun. is rated PG-13, so it's not really for the little ones. The storyline is a little complicated for anyone under 13, and there is some minor bad language, sexual references, and some weed smoking, too. In my personal opinion, this is a great movie for a mom's night or a girls' get together. Grab your besties and treat yourself to a cozy movie night.
