1/5
A surefire contender for one of the worst Christmas movies ever made, this painfully unfunny comedy is filled with characters and behaviors so thoughtless and misguided that it's flat-out insulting. Go to Full Review

Though we don’t get to know everybody very well, they work as an ensemble, creating a believable family dynamic – chihuahua included. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Nov 23 Funny in 01 hour, 20 minutes, and 38 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG-13 for Language and Some Suggestive Material!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Copyright 2023-2025 Lions Gate Films!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Norman B @KunNeki Feb 1 Uhh what did I watch. George Lopez is washed up See more Pipil C Dec 28 The Actors were actually fine but the direction and editing was bad. I am Hispanic so I also felt that the jokes about Mexican people were not done in the correct way to be funny. I sat through this with the residents of the nursing home I work with and dang was it a difficult watch. I was hoping for something better for the holiday season at work but this movie didn't help. See more Ann R Dec 28 What a terrible movie!! So silly and the depiction of a Hispanic family was ridiculous! Worse acting ever! See more SevynOsirah M Dec 25 I’m sorry.. it seems like all comedians get less funny with age and that sucks. Maybe the fame and riches make them lose touch with what’s humorous… George looks like a melting popsicle in this and isn’t funny at all. As a Mexican, this movie makes me uncomfortable. It’s not funny, it’s cheaply made and god it’s cringe. See more Daniel C Dec 10 George Lopez terrible , movie terrible !!! Flat out worse Christmas movie ever made!! See more Read all reviews
