Jingle Smells

First of all, all the 10 star reviews were obviously posted by the producers of the film, because no one in their right mind would give this film a 10. I am a conservative Christian and I'm certainly aware of cancel culture, but this film falls apart in so many ways. It is poorly written, poorly acted, and the story line is just awful!

Cancel culture is a real thing, and this film does that issue a disservice.

The only thing I found entertaining was that it was 'kind of' snowing on a sunny day in New Mexico. And then it stopped snowing, and then it started snowing again. Also, it seemed like Christmas had already taken place, and then they went back and had it again. Clearly confusing!

Don't waste your $19.99!

I heard about this film from a podcast, and decided to have a watch party with friends. We watched another John Schneider film a few months ago and made it a drinking game every time the actors sounded like a Fox News commentator covering a klan rally and we literally had to stop the game 15 minutes in.

So I'm very glad we decided against doing the same drinking game with this film, because merely watching this movie 'cancels' enough brain cells.

It's not a surprise this sad little pile is just a cheap string of every conservative trope for playing the victim card. But that's just what you get whenever John Schneider makes a move.

What can you expect from a movie called Jingle Smells? I mean really? Was it named by a child? The fact it's full of wrestlers as well tells you everything you need to know. And the right wing element is hilariously bad, honestly they may as well have just gone with KKKristmas and been done with it.

I cannot believe a) How bad the film is b) That the film was even made or c) Did I say how bad the film is?

And to the surprise of absolutely nobody the reviews section has loads of 10/10 reviews from profiles with no other activity. The director, the writer and Sean Hannity maybe?

The film is as funny as Hornswoggles career, not.

Plot

War vet Nick Gutman is forced to take a job with his dad's quirky garbage men buddies. When tasked to destroy canceled toys before Christmas - Nick takes on the secret identity "Jingle Smells" and becomes a Robin Hood of the Holidays.

Cast

Directed by Daniel Lusko known for politically bias films and documentaries including his "I'm a victim" movie where Christians are are persecuted this stars such barrel scrapers as John Schneider and Eric Roberts, political stooges Sean Hannity and Mike Huckabee and for some reason wrestler Dylan "Hornswoggle" Postl, James "Cowboy" Storm and er.... Eric Bischoff.

Verdict

Let it be known I don't like Christmas so unsurprisingly I don't tend to like Christmas movies. There have been exceptions such as Elf (2003) and I'll Be Home for Christmas (1998) but for the most part I find them offensively stupid and cannot fathom why anyone over the age of 6 would find them entertaining.

Lusko tries his hand at comedy and of course gets political every chance he gets, shoving down your throat a vile hatefilled intolerant mean spirited agenda alongside humor as funny as Melissa McCarthy. The theme is "Cancel culture" which let's not kid ourselves is just a term coined by people unhappy about facing the consequences of their actions.

It's not funny, it's not endearing, it's an unpleasant rancid watch and I'm honestly not sure who it's aimed at but I question the mentality of whoever enjoys it.

Rants

When the right accuses the left of putting agendas in movies/tv it's because it features diversity and they don't like that.

When the left accuses the right of putting agendas in movies/tv it's because it's filled with hateful anti-minority rhetoric.

The sides are not the same.

Breakdown Unfunny Politically motivated Embarrassingly poor cast.

I watched this movie with my Grams hoping it would be good, but it ended up being pretty bad, acting pretty bad, and the whole storyline is really weird... We were hoping to like this movie, but we ended up just criticizing it the whole way through! 👎 and the price is a lot for what it is... $20 for what! Three out of 10 don't really recommend way too expensive and overall just not a really good movie! I even was drinking my hot cocoa, and it almost came out of my mouth because of us laughing at it lol not trying to be mean though just giving my honest review! Watch it if you want just me personally I don't recommend it.
