The traditional holiday romance movie, from the writer of "You Light Up My Christmas" and the director of "The Christmas Bow", gets a little more fun this year with a spin from co-writers Vince Vaughn ("Couples Retreat") and Dan Lagana ("American Vandal"). In "Christmas with The Campbells", when Jesse gets dumped right before the holidays by her boyfriend Shawn, his parents convince her to still spend Christmas with them, and Shawn's handsome cousin, while Shawn is away.

Christmas With the Campbells is like a weirdly creative holiday drink; you wouldn’t expect those ingredients to work together, but somehow, they do.

It’s an entertaining effort, one that will certainly pass the time while you’re wrapping gifts or trimming the tree with the TV on. Maybe just make sure the kids are out of the room first.

Although this holiday rom-com attempts something different by sprinkling some spice into the sugar-coated mixture, it all amounts to a lot of naughty talk and no action.

Poorly written, overly optimistic and transparent in its manipulation of anyone watching. Justin Long and the remaining ensemble sleepwalk through a crass script, which puts gender roles back ten years.

A very by-the-numbers romantic comedy... you can predict everything that's gonna happen.

Maybe Christmas fans will enjoy it for what it is, but overall it is an underwhelming attempt that falls short.

I have come to love this movie more and more. In fact, the more I watch it the more I love it. However, you have to understand the humor before you watch to appreciate. Vince Vaughn’s humor comes through in the dialogue, and it is full of Easter Eggs you can’t possibly pick up on in one viewing. Alex Moffat is genius as always in the film playin the "quarter zip" finance bro to a tee. It’s sweet to see George Wendt in his final film and Brittany Snow is great. Justin Long, who is a Vaughn regular, is great as always. The over the top and obvious innuendo humor is great. If you watch it thinking, "Wait, that’s so obvious," you miss the point. It’s supposed to be. Anyway, I love this movie. It’s a hidden gem that will only get better with age! Cheers and Merry Christmas!

I understand that it’s intended to be a satire of the Hallmark Christmas Movie genre however its foul sexual jokes and sexual overtones make it unwatchable. It’s unrated but please don’t watch this with your children!

Don’t watch this with kids!!!! Lots of awkward sex humor. So if you like that you’ll love this show, just not my type of humor. Pretty weird and very predictable throughout.

The number of people too dumb to understand this is a parody of Hallmark holiday movies is mind numbing.

So I read other reviews that said this movie is a satire. Okay, fine. But it was like an extra terrestrial teamed up with AI to write the dialogue. It was strange and unfunny. The sexual talk was not meant to be sexy and it also wasn't funny so it just gave me the ick.
