The Christmas Letter

The premise is somewhat interesting but that's the only redeeming value of this mess. The script is nonsensical, none of the characters are likeable and the attempts at humor fall painfully flat. Chevy Chase, Randy Quaid and Brian-Doyle Murray only have minor roles and are never in the same scene. They're apparently only on the marquee for marketing purposes. Quite frankly, they should be embarrassed. Don't be duped like I was. I spent $4.99 to rent which is $4.99 too much. Even free wouldn't be worth it. I didn't waste the full 90 minutes of my time because I bailed out early. It was too painful to watch.

OMG!! Where does one even begin with this monstrosity for an excuse for a Christmas movie? How in what world can it happen that when you have one of the greatest comedic actors of all time, Chevy Chase aka Norm De Plume, cast in your movie and the result ends up being such a complete POS? Chevy is probably glad that he will never ever work with Director Tori Hunter & Writer Michael Cunnigham ever again. On a scale of 1 - 10 this stinker of a movie comes in at -100. (That is negative 100) Yes, it is that bad. I'm curious if one has to be on something in order to get even a single laugh from this movie because without being on anything it certainly did not make me crack a smile once let alone make me even come close to any attempt at a laugh. The script was so bad it barely even makes any sense. I felt bad for Chevy and Randy that they had to stick to the script and push through scenes that were so humorless that I'm sure they were constantly asking themselves if it (the pain) was over yet. Don't say I didn't warn you if you end up watching this absolute mess. Hopefully Chevy can redeem himself in the next movie. Please pass the gravy because this meal tastes like absolute garbage. 1 Star Only!!

Saturday Night director Jason Reitman says Chevy Chase told him that he should be embarrassed of his SNL movie - Chevy should be embarrassed of this and all the other projects he has done over the past three years. This has to be the worse Christmas movie of all time.

Overall, the movie misses the mark, delivering a lackluster viewing experience that may leave you feeling disappointed, especially if you're looking for something fresh and engaging during the holiday season. It serves as a reminder that not all holiday films can capture the magic and warmth that the genre promises. The Christmas Letter gets one letter, an F for failure.

Chevy Chase & Randy Quaid reuniting atop the bill of a new Christmas movie sounds too good to be true... cos it isn't true. Despite opening the credits of abysmal, cheap, stinker "The Christmas Letter" Chase & Quaid only have minor cameos in it, while the atrocious Kristoffer Polaha is the lead as an average-joe so jealous of the annual brag-fest letter he gets from rich childhood pen-pal Lance Bonza that despite losing his job he plans his own year of crazy expensive activities... each of which is a disaster (ha ha). Director Tori Hunter & writer Michael Cunnigham (both first timers) should never work again, while Chase & Quaid should hang their heads it is so so bad.

I paid $4.99 to rent this disaster! It's the stupidest movie I've ever watched.. dumb writing, even worse acting. Chevy Chase should be embarrassed. What a waste of his time. Randy Quade just awful. I repeat the worst waste of my time ever. Never funny, not one laugh. Do not waste any money on this horrendous piece of junk. Who thought this was funny? Who could have put their name on this disaster? You are nuts if you rent this movie. A complete waste of your time and money. Please stay away from this. Awful, terrible movie. Bring a barf bag if you rent it. Stay away please. Never a funny moment.
