It seems to be compared with 'Like Water for Chocolate', which is designated as 'magical realism'. That may be an acquired taste...(no pun intended :-)
We saw the trailer today on YouTube, and husband laughed; so we'll probably watch it. (My husband considers 'Die Hard' a Christmas movie, so I'm always grateful for something a little more 'chick' that might amuse him :-)

“My husband considers ‘Die Hard’ a Christmas movie”.
So do I!!
Although ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ is the best.

Ha! Saw “Die Hard” for the 1st time a few months ago & I agree with your husband. Great Christmas movie!
Fantastical & magical is why GG Marquez leaves me lost & cold. My mother cannot understand that as she loves him. Different strokes & all that.

Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
It is about the triumph of a marriage over the forces that would pull them apart.
It is about the victory of the family over the forces of greed.
It is about a man who made a mistake learning to forgive himself.
It is about a small child getting her Christmas wish.
It is about a media personality getting socked in the face.
You really can not get more Christmasy then the warm glow that spreads through you when you see a journalist getting popped in the nose.
