"The Really Loud House," a live-action spin-off from an enjoyable live-action Nickelodeon Christmas TV movie, "A Loud House Christmas" (which was based on the animated series "The Loud House") presents a number of problems, the upmost being "How did this nightmare ever get on the air?" The program does have a large cast for a half-hour sitcom, but it also suffers from being absolutely ridiculous, with characters acting like total idiots. The plot revolves around Lincoln Loud, the only boy in a 13-member family (his parents and 10 sisters). The dialogue appears to have been written by a pre-schooler (that's how intelligent it is) and the parents are just so unbelievable that you can't believe what you are seeing; don't even get me started on the super-ridiculous plots (e.g., Dad, a chef, becoming the family doctor). The Christmas movie, although outrageous in its plot (Lincoln seeking a way to keep his family together for the holiday) was, at least decently acted. The series retains ONLY one good aspect of the movie: the character of Lucy Loud (Aubin Bradley), a very pretty girl whose face is mostly obstructed by her black hair, which covers her eyes (how she can even see is a wonder). She is the spooky one of the family (obsessed with the macabre) and easily accepted as being what she is; the same as in the Christmas movie. Her sisters were portrayed as a bit over the top in the movie but here they have been rewritten (that pre-schooler sure gets around) to act as total embarrassments. Nickelodeon cancelled two decent series, "Side Hustle" and "Warped" for something that should have never seen the light of the day.
