Jingle Smells

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.

Sorry to say, but I REALLY wanted to like this movie, I really did. I am a conservative talk show junkie and an ardent fan of the Sean Hannity shows and was looking forward to the release of this movie and bought it to show my family after Thanksgiving dinner. Before the family (four of us) arrived, I previewed the first few minutes of the movie and liked what I saw so far.

After we finished Thanksgiving dinner I put the movie on. My 38 year old son paid close attention while my wife and daughter kinda chatted paying less attention.

There were a couple laughs, but not many. Before long my son went to the girls and the thee of them chatted while I watched the movie.

The guest hosts on the Wednesday'S Hannity show really, REALLY, hyped the movie having several of the stars of the show on to talk about their experience making the movie. They likened the movie to Nat. Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (which the wife and I watch TWICE every season) and Home Alone (which we also watch every season).

I kept waiting for the movie to "take off." But it just kept plodding along with very little sense of it being a Christmas movie. If it was on TV when you're changing channels and came across it part way through, you'd be hard pressed to know it's a Christmas show. The only clue, most of the time, was Jingle Smells, the main character, wearing a Santa hat.

Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, The Santa Clause, etc., all give you a sense of traditional Christmases, Jingle Smells doesn't.

Since I bought it, own it, I might watch it again and see if there's something I didn't get the first time, but my wife won't watch it with me, SORRY TO SAY!

Love the cast, honestly a bunch of great people coming together to make a fun family movie for the holidays. Sadly, it was for sure missing something and I couldn't pinpoint what.

The movie has a couple of political messages. I watch movies and tv to be entertained and get away from real life stuff, not for politics no mater if I agree with the politics or not.

Always good to see John Schneider. I watched Dukes of Hazzard reruns with my Uncle when I was young and I watched Smallville in my teens. Great actor and from what I can tell from my living room couch, a great guy in real life.

I also want to point out that the young Tyson Jones did great for his first on screen performance.

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 don't really know what to say except I'm not exaggerating that this is the worst movie I've ever seen and it will haunt me forever. It's a comedy that's filled with humour at the same level as a Saturday morning kids show but then again what do you expect from a movie called Jingle Smells for crying out loud? Half the cast aren't even actors, they're wrestlers and political figures, and the other half are actors so washed up they're happy just to have a pay check and don't even try to put on a decent performance and don't even get me started on the religious and political messages they fog horn every few minutes.
