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+

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

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.

It’s a parody. Not sure how people missed that. Very finny comedians in the key roles. I enjoyed it.
