Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas!

I thought this was a great movie to view with the family around the Christmas tree. I laughed several times. The only thing holding this back from 10 stars, is simply the fact of the acting. I think the series actors were better than this. Although the actors are the same, they performed differently. 8/10

I absolutely love Good Luck Charlie! The music, cast, jokes, and story is amazing. But this movie unfortunately wasn't. There were times when it kind of dragged and the jokes weren't landing. Everyone's character was bland and there was no Christmas. I was hoping for a great movie and got an okay one.

"Good Luck Charlie: The Movie" is definitely not the worst kind of family comedy, though I have to admit I personally prefer the show to this. Still, it makes a great addition to the series as a little Christmas movie. I didn't plan to catch this in the first place. Then I decided I might as well watch this after I tuned to the Disney Channel looking for some fun after some serious work.

First of all, the story is a mix of unoriginal ideas. It wasn't boring. Not at all. Just unoriginal. A vehicle going downhill with a broken brake and some typical war games, these all sound familiar. So you should not expect anything fresh or special, but it is still fun for me. There aren't exactly any particular moments or scenes that I find dull or highly intriguing, but trust me, it is not a mess. The story fits together and is presented well.

Some scenes near the end of the movies are good, and I liked the ending too. And yes, there was the surprise which I am not going to ruin here. But I do hope that Disney will maintain the consistency and keep that "surprise" valid for upcoming episodes on the show.

I guess there is not a single reason for me to say this is a bad movie, but it really could've been much better, so I think I will put this in the middle of the scale. This is by no means a poor family comedy, considering there are "better" choices out there. If you're afraid of replaying awful memories of this year's little Miss Judy Moody, don't worry. This is a lot, a lot and a lot less disturbing.

It's not the best Disney movie but neither the worst one. It's enjoyable and fun to watch but if you skip wouldn't be a problem.

Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas is just a kind of film that feels more of a special than a legitimate movie. Even the kind that would contain two plot lines in one movie that it doesn't get what it mostly wants to be. Is it about Teddy going to Florida? Is it about Teddy and Amy's road trip to Palm Springs? Is it a goofy comedy of Bob dealing with Amy's parents? All those have convinced I would oftenly look at this as one of those one-hour specials than a movie. That and the comedy is a hit and miss, the editing is limited and doesn't stand out from the show, the characters are either jerks or overly goofy, and the third act with the Grandparents element was unnecessary. But at least it's not the worst movie Disney Channel has produced since it's part of the continuation of the series. I'll just say that if you're a huge fan of the show, this would be for you. If not, then it's best to stick with the show. As a Disney Channel sitcoms nowadays go, at least I'd take Good Luck Charlie over others like Jessie, Dog With a Blog, I Didn't Do It, and other Disney sitcoms that suck nowadays. But hey, at least they weren't made into movies for the sake of making it worse for these shows.
