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.

Rated: 3/4

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.

Rated: C+

San Jose Mercury News

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.

Rated: 2/4

We Got This Covered

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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated: 6/10

I get that this movie is intended to be satirical. I may love hallmark movies, but even I understand that. But here's the thing, it's satirical enough to be ridiculous, but not enough to be funny. This movie is the film equivalent of your high school science teacher that used slang terms in an "ironic" way, but just ended up sounding sad and middle age. Imagine your dad right now (go ahead, I'll wait) now imagine he just showed up to your house in a leather jacket, cut off jeans, and a cowboy hat. That gut clench cringey feeling you just got thinking about that? Imagine that for an hour and a half. Which is such a shame because I love this cast! I will watch anything with Brittany Snow and Justin Long (and Norm?!), but this was hard to sit through. It's a shame their names have to be attached to such a stinker…

This movie was awful. The characters were creepy. NOBODY wants to see Norms junk, much less hear anyone asking for it. This movie was chuck full of cringe, NOT what a Christmas movie should be.
