The Christmas Letter

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.

Whether you watch 30, 45, 60, or however many minutes of this bomb, it's that much of your life you'll never get back. Bad acting, terrible writing, cheesy backdrops, you name it - this has it all. Hiring three actors from Christmas Vacation to draw a crowd makes it even worse. Imitating the musical style from Christmas Vacation is an absolute insult. Chevy Chase needs to retire before he destroys what legacy he has left. At least Randy Quaid seems to have retained his trademark quirkiness, the only bright spot in this mess. Skip this atrocity at all costs, I regret the bandwidth I had to waste to watch it.

OK lets start with the comedy eliment of this movie! Well frankly there is no comedy it has zero laughs from start to finish!

You have Randy Quaid who has more movie time than Chevy Chase does but even both of them look bored stiff trying to muster a laugh from the poor script they were given.

You have a British family who speak like they are in England back in 1888. British people do not speak like that what so ever but by then it was a case of who cares?

Unsure if this movie is a tax loss make because I cant believe that this script for the movie was passed off to be made by movie bosses?

Not much else to say accept give this Xmas turkey movie a big fat miss this Xmas holiday folks!

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.
