The Christmas Classic

Terrible writing Terrible acting Terrible directing.

Terrible music Terrible production Just terrible

Who is this actor Wes Hager? I can find someone off the street to act better than him.

Sad....sad excuse for a movie

Malin akerman Is the only draw to this movie.

Island Christmas dancing I can live with but rest blah

While I agree Justin Longs accent was horrible in Christmas with the Campbells, the movie was far superior to this junk!

Stick with the Campbells & skip this classless movie!

Don't let other review fool you like it fooled me.

Blah blah blah Don't watch this Thank you bye.

So in the first 3 minutes the female lead yells "S**T!" and then "OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD" half a dozen times. Several minutes in we hear "Not a chance in H**l" and then her sister starts with the "OH MY GOD." Whoever the writers are needs to broaden his/her/their vocabulary and knowledge of proper English that would be appropriate for a Christmas movie that (assumedly) children will be watching. The female lead character is a spoiled, arrogant, entitled and thoroughly hateful brat--so nothing at all "nice" or uplifting about this pile of detritus. First thought is "Well the children won't be watching this," and second thought is that the exclamation "S**T" in the first few minutes is a very suitable description of this film. Turned it off at 20 minutes in. An offensive waste of time.

Malin is the reason I watched it on the first place, I really like her. The plot was weird, the whole contest "christmas classic" was never well explained, kinda of just happened and that was it, and wasnt funny at all, not once - actually, the six inches joke made by a CHILD felt so off and weird! This whole movie has a weird vibe, i cant quite put my finger on it, but the vibe feels off, weird and nonsense. If "island Christmas" started to play again one more time i would loose it! Even Malins fiancé character is extra weird, seems pointless to the story, I dont know! I was mesmerized by the weird vibe, though. I watched until the end just to see what would happen lol. So weird, I swear, never watched something like it!

This is a Hallmark movie at its core, but it has some adult jokes peppered throughout. The guy from Reno 911 and The State steals the show as local broadcaster Dick Mountain. I saw some reviews making it look like it's crude language throughout, and it's not at all, just here and there and sometimes it's nice to take a break from the ever sugary G rated Hallmark movie. It's got a good cast, some nice outdoor snow mountain scenery that is not Vancouver for a change which is all you see with Hallmark (although Vancouver is beautiful)- filmed in New Mexico. It's also a spoof of sorts on 80s ski resort movies. Overall if you like Hallmark but are looking for something just a bit less sugary, you will like this. Don't overthink it.

I was hopeful for another decent holiday movie with comedy and charm, a great plot line and some romance.

What I got?

More than 40 dick jokes and a deep concern for one of the child actors. Never in my life would I have expected to hear a child be forced to say "would 6 inches make you happy, mommy?".

GROSS.

Was this supposed to be a parody? What was the point of this movie? To humiliate Malin and Amy? A waste of money and resources as far as I'm concerned. For anyone trying to avoid chauvinistic movies with dick innuendoes every 2 minutes- don't waste your time with this film.

If a parody this was to be, you missed the mark entirely.
