Amazon MGM Studios has unveiled the trailer for Oh. What. Fun., a new holiday comedy set to debut on Prime Video on December 3. The film, which was shot in Georgia last year, is directed by Michael Showalter (The Idea of You) and co-written by Showalter and Chandler Baker. It’s based on a short story by Baker originally published by Amazon Original Stories.
About the Story
The film centers around Claire Clauster, played by Michelle Pfeiffer, who is the tireless holiday planner for her family every year. From baking the perfect cookies to wrapping presents with care, Claire does it all. But this year, while her husband and grown kids are distracted by their own seasonal issues, they make one big mistake—they forget about Claire.
By the time her absence is noticed, Claire has already set off on a solo holiday adventure that doesn’t include cleaning up after anyone else. As her family scrambles to locate her and get their Christmas back on track, Claire discovers the joy of putting herself first for a change.
