Malin is the reason I watched it on the first place, I really like her. The plot was weird, the whole contest "christmas classic" was never well explained, kinda of just happened and that was it, and wasnt funny at all, not once - actually, the six inches joke made by a CHILD felt so off and weird! This whole movie has a weird vibe, i cant quite put my finger on it, but the vibe feels off, weird and nonsense. If "island Christmas" started to play again one more time i would loose it! Even Malins fiancé character is extra weird, seems pointless to the story, I dont know! I was mesmerized by the weird vibe, though. I watched until the end just to see what would happen lol. So weird, I swear, never watched something like it!
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.
Of course I had never heard about the 2023 Showtime Christmas movie titled "The Christmas Classic" prior to sitting down to watch it as part of my 2024 Christmas movie marathon.
But I will say that the movie's cover was sufficiently cheesy to instill that particular sense of being in for a sappy Christmas movie experience.
Writers Austin Nichols and Shane Dax Taylor put together a sufficiently enjoyable storyline, but it just wasn't standing out in the vast sea of similar movies. And as such, I have to say that "The Christmas Classic" is not going to become a Christmas classic. Watchable, for sure, just not memorable out unique.
There were some familiar faces on the screen, such as Malin Akerman, Ryan Hansen, Austin Nichols and Amy Smart. It should be said, though, that the acting performances in the movie were fair.
They mentioned The Griswalds in this movie, as they were talking about Christmas lights, which I found to be a nice touch and a lovely nod to the classic "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation".
My rating of director Shane Dax Taylor's 2023 movie "The Christmas Classic" lands on a bland five out of ten stars.

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.

I was hopeful for another decent holiday movie with comedy and charm, a great plot line and some romance.
What I got?
More than 40 dick jokes and a deep concern for one of the child actors. Never in my life would I have expected to hear a child be forced to say "would 6 inches make you happy, mommy?".
GROSS.
Was this supposed to be a parody? What was the point of this movie? To humiliate Malin and Amy? A waste of money and resources as far as I'm concerned. For anyone trying to avoid chauvinistic movies with dick innuendoes every 2 minutes- don't waste your time with this film.
If a parody this was to be, you missed the mark entirely.
