How the Gringo Stole Christmas

It's not a bad movie. Nevermind, I just looked up the word bad. It is a bad movie. The acting is forced and seems unrehearsed. As if they were handed scripts and said, "You have 30 minutes to learn it and figure out the scenes." But rather than learn the script, the actors got high and practiced bad Chicano accents. The actor that plays "the boyfriend" has horrible lines and delivers them in an uneven rude manner. The cinematography makes bad pornos look like Ben Hur. The movie would have been a lot better if more or better comedy writers had been involved and the "boy friend" played by an actor. If you want to see something funny from the creator of this movie, watch the YouTube shorts he puts out. That's what the movie should have been about.

Come on George, you better than this garbage of a "movie"! Half a star if that was possible! Interesting how this is supposed to be about a Mexican Family yet they play Salsa throughout the movie. Not a single funny moment except for a few remarks made. Waste of money.

Predictable and not funny at all.

Old "jokes" and bad acting from all angles.

Was looking forward to a comedy but got none of that.

Not sure why George is not funny anymore and having bad actors and bad scripts did not help this movie. Never again will I watch any of his movies. Feel bad for him because he is trying to stay in the business but he just doesn't have it anymore.

Since George Lopez lives in California, he will have no problem finding a psychiatrist, but finding a good one and willing to put in the work is whole other challenge.

This film was a low-budget dumpster film, but clearly George has some unsolved issues (probably from childhood trauma) because he keeps making the same story over and over and over again.

Due to being bullied by his Mexican family and friends for being dark-skin and having a wide nose that he grew this hatred i.e. Jealousy for white guys because deep down he wishes he was them. However, he should let go of that trauma and be happy with the past success that he has achieved because at this point is becoming pathetic to see a well-to-do old man still lingering on the past and putting his frustration on innocent people who have nothing to do with your past.

What can be said about this movie that hasn't been said about Tony Wiseau.

George Lopez is still a comical force, this movie just falls short of its true potential, it felt forced and rushed, the characters somewhat flowed with each other, but they lacked a genuine connection.

The editing was not there at all, the acting didn't have fluidity, the writing is corny and flat

But, it's George Lopez. So it'll pass for humerus and a good way to kill sometime while you're eating some ribs surfing movies to watch

Idk what else to say now.

George looks a lot different now right?

Like bro wht ........

You may think this is racist towards light skin brothers and sisters, and it is, but you may be surprised to know that it's also prejudice against Hispanic cultures by offering nauseating stereotypes of them. If you're familiar with George Lopez, none of this should come as a surprise to you, unless your only exposure to him is from his sitcom, an era when there was hope for the comedy of George, before he starts to take his racial views to the front stage of everything. On another note, some folks don't care about messages, and can watch everything with a shallow attachment to the story, and may very well find some degree of endearing sincerity to some of this.
