Jack in Time for Christmas

I liked _Airplane!_ so I thought this was worth the time. Like _Airplane!_, et al., It's stupid and it's supposed to be stupid, so it tracks. Unfamiliar with most of the actors, I was drawn in by the simplicity. Is that really Michael Bublé'? Who the heck is Dave Bautista? Is Jack Whitehall a real person or fictional? It's as good as any mockumentary. I enjoy inside nods to other movies and breaking the fourth wall. Will I seek out other Jack Whitehall movies now? No, but at least now I know who he and the rest of the cast are. I think the introduction of the movie, where he goes to Bublé's house, is worth the price of admission alone.

It was humorous, far-fetched, storytelling that I actually laughed out loud while watching. The movie is about Jack Whitehall, a British comedian and actor, telling the tale of his chaotic trip home for Christmas. The famous people who were woven into the story were great sports. I'm sure each of them had fun filming this, because it's so different from their usual jobs. I don't know why this movie has garnered such low ratings. Maybe the low ratings were by people who were expecting a different type of movie. If you're expecting a Hallmark Christmas story, this isn't it. But, it is a nice change of pace and good for laughs.

If you want to annoy your Family this Christmas, welcome home. This abomination of a Holiday Special aimed to recreate some of the comedic holiday joy of movie classics like 'Planes Trains and Automobiles' but missed something .... Talent, humour, comedy, soul, a plot, and characters we could relate to. The only thing that could have salvaged this disaster was if Krampus had suddenly appeared and decapitated Jack Whitehall so we could all have a nice quiet Christmas without dealing with this insufferable inane twits rambling ......Congrats Jack you've made such a bad feature it'll be the topic of whats the worst movie of 2024 ......

This is so cringe. It's dreadful. The acting is awful, which means the directing was awful. The production is amateurish, and the lighting is surprisingly bad. It's like they didn't have enough money to hire a lighting director and they only had one light that one of the grips held up.

I have no idea who Jack is, but he is very British and he is not remotely funny.

None of the "jokes" land. It's like watching a comedian bomb on Kill Tony, where the crowd is deadly silent. This movie is so horrible that it might develop a cult following because of a drinking game where you do shots every time a joke doesn't land.

This feels like it was shot in one day. I don't even know who wrote this because I just didn't care enough to find out. Maybe the whole thing is improvised, but if that is the case it still blows.

The fact that this garbage was made ruined my Christmas.

Probably the worst thing I've ever watched.

I've given 1* for it having Tom Davis and Michael Bublè in, who normally I like.

It's like it was written by drama students. I don't know why anyone agreed to be in it. I could not wait for it to finish.

There was one funny moment which I don't think could've been part of the script, as Tom David isn't a stuntman....

I'm so confused at what I have just watched. It wasn't even ironic- it was the cheapest and worst comedy I've ever seen and I don't know who commissioned it, or signed off the final edit but they should never work in tv again.

Don't waste you time watching this.
