The Christmas Letter

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.

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.

And that says a lot because there are sooooo many crappy movies out there. Obviously Chevy Chase and Randy Quaid were cast to draw in dumb viewers like me. This movie was terrible. My 10 and 12 year old grandchildren write better than the drivel in The Christmas Letter. Unimaginative, lazy, and simplistic dialog that absolutely ruins a great concept for a Christmas movie. The acting was terrible with the exception of the actor playing the mother. I feel like I got robbed by paying $15 to watch. I should demand a refund. Hollywood needs to lift their standards fast before the unintelligent writing and acting tears it to the ground.

Saturday Night director Jason Reitman says Chevy Chase told him that he should be embarrassed of his SNL movie - Chevy should be embarrassed of this and all the other projects he has done over the past three years. This has to be the worse Christmas movie of all time.

Overall, the movie misses the mark, delivering a lackluster viewing experience that may leave you feeling disappointed, especially if you're looking for something fresh and engaging during the holiday season. It serves as a reminder that not all holiday films can capture the magic and warmth that the genre promises. The Christmas Letter gets one letter, an F for failure.

OMG!! Where does one even begin with this monstrosity for an excuse for a Christmas movie? How in what world can it happen that when you have one of the greatest comedic actors of all time, Chevy Chase aka Norm De Plume, cast in your movie and the result ends up being such a complete POS? Chevy is probably glad that he will never ever work with Director Tori Hunter & Writer Michael Cunnigham ever again. On a scale of 1 - 10 this stinker of a movie comes in at -100. (That is negative 100) Yes, it is that bad. I'm curious if one has to be on something in order to get even a single laugh from this movie because without being on anything it certainly did not make me crack a smile once let alone make me even come close to any attempt at a laugh. The script was so bad it barely even makes any sense. I felt bad for Chevy and Randy that they had to stick to the script and push through scenes that were so humorless that I'm sure they were constantly asking themselves if it (the pain) was over yet. Don't say I didn't warn you if you end up watching this absolute mess. Hopefully Chevy can redeem himself in the next movie. Please pass the gravy because this meal tastes like absolute garbage. 1 Star Only!!
