The Christmas Letter

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.

Worst movie I've seen in a long time. Actually stopped it and tried to find a way to get a rental refund. Don't waste your time. Both "Stars" are bearly in the movie and all acting is bad. Sounds written by AI as most scenes dont make sense and are dragged out. Please save your time and watch anything else. I cannot emphasize enough how bad the acting and writing is in this film and it felt like this movie tried to trick you into thinking its a top Christmas Blockbuster but its not. Plot makes very little sense and honestly the description of what the movie is feels wrong and there is nothing about this adventure that is amusing or interesting.

And that says a lot because there are sooooo many crappy movies out there. Obviously Chevy Chase and Randy Quaid were cast to draw in dumb viewers like me. This movie was terrible. My 10 and 12 year old grandchildren write better than the drivel in The Christmas Letter. Unimaginative, lazy, and simplistic dialog that absolutely ruins a great concept for a Christmas movie. The acting was terrible with the exception of the actor playing the mother. I feel like I got robbed by paying $15 to watch. I should demand a refund. Hollywood needs to lift their standards fast before the unintelligent writing and acting tears it to the ground.

I paid $4.99 to rent this disaster! It's the stupidest movie I've ever watched.. dumb writing, even worse acting. Chevy Chase should be embarrassed. What a waste of his time. Randy Quade just awful. I repeat the worst waste of my time ever. Never funny, not one laugh. Do not waste any money on this horrendous piece of junk. Who thought this was funny? Who could have put their name on this disaster? You are nuts if you rent this movie. A complete waste of your time and money. Please stay away from this. Awful, terrible movie. Bring a barf bag if you rent it. Stay away please. Never a funny moment.

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.
