Bonne Chance Charlie, le film

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.

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.

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.

You really have to be fans of the Good Luck Charlie show from Disney to appreciate the film. Viewing the show and knowing the characters will give you a leg up on those watching this film cold.

Saying that this is a typical family oriented Disney product about the Duncan family leaving cold and snowy Denver for a Palm Springs Christmas with the maternal grandparents Michael Kagen and Debra Monk.

But a mixup with the plane tickets has Eric Allen Kramer, Jason Dolley, and Bradley Steven Perry flying and Lynn-Allyn Baker and Bridget Mendler using whatever ground transportation they can scrounge. Baby Charlie goes with the guys.

Scrounge they have to as the two windup in all kinds of exotic adventures. Usually because Baker has a pugnacious personality and opens her mouth at the wrong time. They also at some point have to sing for their supper and Bridget Mendler can certainly sing.

Leaving Eric Allen Kramer with his supercritical mother-in-law ain't working out for him either. Jason Dolley gets a nasty sunburn, the kind kids from Denver don't get unless they like the desert. And Bradley Steven Perry regrets turning Grandpa on to video games.

Especially for fans of the show it's a nice Christmas movie. It works out kind of crazily for all.

THIS MOVIE IS PERFECT. With "Good Luck Charlie"'s normal great family dynamics, great songs throughout, and great motivations for all characters this is exactly why I love "Good Luck Charlie". I watch this movie every single year just because of how much joy it brings me. You must understand "Good Luck Charlie" before watching but it is worth watching every TV show ever to understand and enjoy this movie. The only issue I could mention is the fact that it isn't even longer, it feels that there should've been more focus on the Bob and Linda dynamic and more of a proper resolution to their relationship issues. But besides that this is a MUST WATCH.
