The Christmas Classic

I don't know what it is with the parody parading as serious hallmark style cheesy Christmas movies being churned or in recent years but I can't imagine that anyone could watch these movies with any grain of seriousness when the plots are completely stereotyped and across who are generally decent actors purposely over (under?) act to be on par with actual holiday movies thar are supposed to be taken seriously. That being said, this movie made me laugh hard at the ridiculousness of how perfectly this movie played on those played out tropes. And, they did it better than the 2022 Christmas parody, Christmas with the Campbells which was just downright cringe-worthy thanks to my beloved Justin Long's awful, over the top nondescript southern/Midwestern small town cowboy accent. I hear Justin Long but I heart Chris Hansen almost as much and at least he didn't attempt a bad accent. Definitely worth a watch for a good laugh at the tongue in cheek, poking fun at sappy holiday romance movies.

Utterly abysmal "The Christmas Classic" is a stinking Christmas turkey rather than any kinda Christmas classic. Malin Akerman returns to her small, mountain hometown to close a deal for her smarmy fiancé to turn Ryan Hansen's 'charming' ski resort into a corporate beast (boo!)... but as Hansen's reluctant she's stuck staying with the family she'd tried to avoid (including Amy Smart & Chris Mulinax) - might that teach her some life lessons? Director / co-writer (Austin Nichols) Shane Dax Taylor applies the lowest standards to his work, and the dire quality of some performances bear that out. It is a Christmas disaster. Dire. Avoid at all costs.

Started watching lasted about 10 minutes couldn't believe what I was watching in the short time l watched the innuendos thrown in. For christmas 24 it just seemed weird they would show such rubbish don't know what they were thinking. They are normally harmless film's which make you smile but this film was a cringe a minute. They should stick to what they know which is good entertainment and fun for all the family. The film did look a bit false and from what I saw didn't really make any sense. Luckily you can turn off which was advantage in our case too put us out of our misery. Make sure you give this a miss.

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.

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.
