The trailer for Oh. What. Fun. just dropped, and honestly? It looks like someone spiked the eggnog with freedom.
Starring the eternally flawless Michelle Pfeiffer (yes, THE Michelle Pfeiffer, who ages like fine wine and better than your favorite skincare serum), this holiday flick is giving Hallmark movie energy—but with an attitude, a budget, and actual Oscar nominees.
Let’s talk cast first, because Prime Video clearly raided the cool kids’ table:
We’ve got Felicity Jones (the queen of whisper-acting), Dominic Sessa (fresh off the “I’m about to be famous” train), Chloë Grace Moretz (our forever Hit-Girl), Devery Jacobs, Jason Schwartzman (he probably owns twelve typewriters), Rafaella Karnaby, Drake Shehan (yes, that’s a name and not a DJ), and Denis “I-Yell-a-Lot” Leary.
The plot? Oh, baby, it sleighs.
Michelle plays Claire Clauster (yes, they really named her that—CLAUSTER. As in CLAUSTROPHOBIC. Someone give this screenwriter a candy cane and a raise). Claire is the kind of mom who ices cookies with the precision of a NASA engineer and gift-wraps like she’s competing in the Hunger Games of Christmas. She’s basically Santa with a blowout.
BUT—plot twist! Her grown-up kids and husband get too busy with their own drama to notice… they forgot their MOTHER. Yes. The woman who literally invented Christmas in their household.
So what does Claire do? She pulls a full Eat, Pray, Slay and peaces out for a Christmas adventure of her own—one with zero casseroles, zero passive-aggressive family dinners, and maximum peppermint lattes. While her family runs around trying to find her (and probably crying into their unsalted mashed potatoes), Claire discovers what the holidays really mean: doing whatever the hell you want.
And because Santa heard us asking for more icons per frame, the supporting cast also includes Eva Longoria, Danielle Brooks, Joan Chen, Maude Apatow, and Havana Rose Liu. It’s like the Avengers of holiday movies—but with more tinsel and unresolved family tension.
🎬 Oh. What. Fun. hits Prime Video on December 3, which gives you exactly three weeks to prep your matching pajamas and avoid your own family’s dysfunction by watching someone else’s.
Merry chaos, everyone. Michelle Pfeiffer said “Ho ho no,” and honestly? Mood.
