No carols are sung. No Santa is seen, and the decorations are few and far in-between. This is more of an anti-Christmas, anti-feel-good flick, but it's one you might want to watch more than once.

Dark, depressing comedy has lots of cursing, drinking.

Rated: 2/5

Buried deep beneath all the booze and bullets, there is some humanity here - it just takes a little digging to unearth it all.

Dreadful, but it's difficult to tell who's to blame for this mess.

Better than the reviews, with solid acting and a decent story. It's far better than other films the critics like more. Give it a shot.

I can’t believe how bad this movie was. Such a waste of a great cast. The drunk cop character was insufferable and even when the story tried reallyyy hard to pull some heart strings with the “what’s your truth” scene, it fell flat and was out of place. And how is this a comedy? It was never funny. Which is a shame with such a good lineup. Oh and it has nothing to do with Christmas. I watched this while I was up late with my newborn and I would have been better off staring at a wall. It will take some time for me to recover from this monstrosity

Loved this movie. Definitely not a Hallmark movie and that’s a good thing. Great entertainment with an edge. Nothing profound but very enjoyable dark humor.

A slow burner that comes together for the ending. Best Christmas film ever.

I generally do not understand why this movie does not have great reviews. The movie is incredibly funny with extreme amounts of plot twists. However I would not watch this as a family Christmas movie, it does not really bring that type of loving vibes.

El Camino Christmas has a star studded cast but sad to say it is very flat with an uneven story. The movie doesn't know if it wants to be a comedy or more of a dark drama/comedy. The end result comes out to be a less enjoyable experience by the viewer. This movie won't even make it onto my Holiday list of movies even though it has Christmas in the title. Dax Shepard and Tim Allen try their best to keep the movie afloat but they can only do so much. I honestly feel if they would have focused making this film more of a drama compared to a comedy that it would have turned out a lot better. El Camino Christmas gets a low 1 1/2 stars out of 5 from me:
