Jack - Rechtzeitig zu Hause zu Weihnachten

I got suckered into this by my wife. I had also heard some people on the radio saying it was the new Die Hard (best Christmas movie of all time). It had a few funny gags, but overall not worth the time. I'd watch Die Hard any time before watching this again.

The part I found the most annoying was the guys wife responding to his texts. The plot was pretty dumb to start with and the things the guy did were pretty off topic. Everytime he would send his wife a tex about what was happening, she would send a reply that was really obnoxious instead of "that sounds like you are going through a lot to get home". Guess that hit a little too close to home.

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.

All the poor reviews on here are not fair. Jack's humour is not for everyone, if you don't like him or british humour you won't like this show. I loved it, and laughed out loud many many times. Sure the premise is ridiculous, but it is meant to be. His interactions with Michael Buble are worth the watch alone. If you appreciate his humour then give this a go otherwise move along but don't put poor reviews in for a show you clearly don't understand or appreciate it's not fair to all the people that took the time to create it and put their time into. I loved this special and if you love Jack Whitehall and his type of humour you will love it too.

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.

I thought the "Travels With My Father" series was alright - yes it was all very staged, but there were some moments where you could see they had a genuine connection and were having a great time hanging out with each other... and it made it quite fun to watch, with some exaggerated gags based on their genuine interactions with each other during the trip.

This just feels like a bad idea cobbled together in a few minutes. Clearly the father was the main draw in the previous series, because nothing Jack Whitehall says here is remotely entertaining and the whole things just feels very forced and awkward.
