It feels like both a summary and a homecoming for this strangest and most American of directors.
Like the family at the center of the film, Nutcrackers is rough around the edges, but it's lovable in a shaggy way.
Nutcrackers is not exactly robust as uplifting family comedies go, but for audiences willing to get in sync with Green’s free-flowing groove, the emotional payoff will be affecting.
What the movie needs isn’t a shaggy Christmas pageant, but the kind of catharsis one might expect when four of its characters lost their mom and the fifth ought to be mourning his sister.
Unfortunately, David Gordon Green’s wholesome throwback to rambunctious family films like The Bad News Bears strains to sell the openhearted spirit of this Christmas-themed lark.
Any novelty in the film is provided by watching spirited kids being themselves, something Green does manage to capture.
The more accomplished the film-making becomes, the more we then expect the script to level up too.
