Jack in Time for Christmas

All the poor reviews on here are not fair. Jack's humour is not for everyone, if you don't like him or british humour you won't like this show. I loved it, and laughed out loud many many times. Sure the premise is ridiculous, but it is meant to be. His interactions with Michael Buble are worth the watch alone. If you appreciate his humour then give this a go otherwise move along but don't put poor reviews in for a show you clearly don't understand or appreciate it's not fair to all the people that took the time to create it and put their time into. I loved this special and if you love Jack Whitehall and his type of humour you will love it too.

I don't really have much more to say than that. This was something a little different to break up the Hallmark movies and I laughed and enjoyed myself. There's lots of lovely scenery and a rapid journey through different modes of transportation and winter sports.

The main thing driving the story - his inability to get home - of course makes no sense, but that's made clear from the start. None of it is meant to be taken seriously.

I thought it was funny, and hopefully the kind of people who will enjoy it won't be dissuaded by the low rating. Why is everyone so hard on comedy? I think we need more of it.

It was humorous, far-fetched, storytelling that I actually laughed out loud while watching. The movie is about Jack Whitehall, a British comedian and actor, telling the tale of his chaotic trip home for Christmas. The famous people who were woven into the story were great sports. I'm sure each of them had fun filming this, because it's so different from their usual jobs. I don't know why this movie has garnered such low ratings. Maybe the low ratings were by people who were expecting a different type of movie. If you're expecting a Hallmark Christmas story, this isn't it. But, it is a nice change of pace and good for laughs.

We loved it - it's the kind of nonsense British humour that you would expect from Jack Whitehall. The Tom Davis section was our favourite.

It's not going to win any awards but it kept us smiling and laughing and was a nice easy watch.

Obviously it's semi-scripted but that's part of the fun of it.

I can't help but think that the grumpy miserable people who have reviewed it just don't understand daft humour, or British humour. If you're the sort of person who doesn't take themselves too seriously, and doesn't pick everything apart (and perhaps if you are not American!!) then you'll enjoy this.

Not particularly Christmassy but still a good watch!

I got suckered into this by my wife. I had also heard some people on the radio saying it was the new Die Hard (best Christmas movie of all time). It had a few funny gags, but overall not worth the time. I'd watch Die Hard any time before watching this again.

The part I found the most annoying was the guys wife responding to his texts. The plot was pretty dumb to start with and the things the guy did were pretty off topic. Everytime he would send his wife a tex about what was happening, she would send a reply that was really obnoxious instead of "that sounds like you are going through a lot to get home". Guess that hit a little too close to home.
