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.

Rated: 1/5

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

Rated: 2.5/5

I’ll always enjoy watching anything George Lopez, but this movie sucked bad. Terrible acting with cringy scenes made it a tough watch at times. It did have a few moments that made us laugh so at least it wasn’t a complete waste.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

George Lopez give it up! You were once funny but portraying Hispanics to that level was a disgrace. The plot was horrible and you were funnier in the George Lopez show. It's time to retire instead of being booed off the stage.

So the overall story was holiday based & for fmailies to watch, but the prodcution could've been a little bit better. Also the acting wasn't up to par, for all other than 2 main stars. I know some were on their first ever movies roles and with time it will come. Just not what I expected ...
