Fake Me A Happy New Year

About This Movie

So, 'Fake Me A Happy New Year' is one of those quirky little gems from 2012 that you stumble upon and just kind of... enjoy. Set in Riga, it follows Anita and her two kids, Santa and Kristaps, as they prep for their annual New Year’s Eve bash with family. The atmosphere is warm, yet slightly chaotic, which captures the essence of family gatherings pretty well. The humor is a bit offbeat, not your standard laugh-out-loud stuff but more situational, making you smirk rather than belly laugh. There's a nice blend of comedy and drama, showcasing the ups and downs of family dynamics. Performances are quite charming, especially from the kids. It feels a bit like a snapshot of life, with practical effects adding a touch of authenticity to the scenes. Worth a look if you're into character-driven stories with a hint of holiday spirit.
