The Christmas Letter

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.

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.

OK lets start with the comedy eliment of this movie! Well frankly there is no comedy it has zero laughs from start to finish!

You have Randy Quaid who has more movie time than Chevy Chase does but even both of them look bored stiff trying to muster a laugh from the poor script they were given.

You have a British family who speak like they are in England back in 1888. British people do not speak like that what so ever but by then it was a case of who cares?

Unsure if this movie is a tax loss make because I cant believe that this script for the movie was passed off to be made by movie bosses?

Not much else to say accept give this Xmas turkey movie a big fat miss this Xmas holiday folks!

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.

I'm sorry but wow. This Christmas movie was a waste my money and 90 minutes of my life. The Chevy Chase and Randy Quaid is just a purchase trap. The duo of the Christmas Vacation greats is far from expectations. They are hardly in the movie. Bad editing, Bad acting, bad special effects, horrible story and plot. Best acting in the movie was the from the guy on the golf cart with the oxygen tank. I paid $17 to purchase this movie, I immediately applied for a refund. I should of known by the bad trailer... the movie is just as bad. Giving this movie a review of only 2 stars cause I like Clark and Eddie.
