El Camino Christmas (2017)

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Blistering performances.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

One of the best Christmas movies I've ever seen.Its not perfect that's for sure , but that was what was perfect about it , everything was flawed , just like real situations and real people.All the actors were top notch without a hint of boredom in any scene and D'Onofrio knocked it out of the park as the boozy deputy trying to make good , you know how you watch a movie and pick out the main characters , in this film I had the feeling there were no main characters , just well jelled entertainment. This is not your ordinary cookie cutter Christmas movie fare...Don't try and dissect it , you'll spoil all the fun...Enjoy

This had to be the absolute worst movie I have ever, ever seen. The reason I selected it was because of Tim Allen and Vincent D'onofrio. Allen was good, actually I thought very good, but what happened to D'onofrio? His talent was wasted on this trash. The story line was nonsensical, but I kept watching it just to see if it had a decent ending. The only benefit of watching this tripe was that I folded 4 huge loads of laundry from Christmas guests. Even my 14 year old grandson, who will watch ANYTHING walked away from this.

This is may first review in the IMDB. I already saw great movies, good movies, and not so good movies, but this one... It is a great piece of garbage. And no, i'm not a hater, i'm not writting this review because i don't like low budget movies. It is simple because this movie tricked me in a shorf of way that i was never expecting. I thought it was a comedy, but i got caught in a drama that hooked me. Not because the movie showed something good that caught my attemption. but simple because i only figuret out that the movie was no a comedy in a scene about 40 minutes over when people start to cry like if they best imaginary friend had died... This movie don't even worth it the time i spend to writte this review whit my bad english, but i only did that in the hope of save a unsuspecting. Please don't watch this.

Another reviewer for this picture says he doesn't believe a town like the one in the story could have so many stupid people in it. Well I beg to differ on that. My town only has about three thousand residents and I could probably come up with a cast for this film. It would have been even easier about four decades ago when the population was less than half that. Seriously, one needs to live in a small town to understand, but as John Mellencamp would put it, "that's good enough for me".Now I haven't seen Tim Allen in many movies, I basically know him as Tim the Tool Man Taylor from the hit TV show. I also know he dabbled as Santa Clause in a series of flicks, so to see him here as an alcoholic dirt bag was quite the shock to the system. Funny, but I never made the father-son connection with Eric Norris (Luke Grimes) until the very end of the story when Larry (Allen) dredged up his bad experience in Vietnam. Don't be fooled by the title of the picture. The fact that it's Christmas time in the movie is ancillary to the story line. Vincent D'Onofrio, who portrays deputy Carl Hooker is straight out of Stallone's "First Blood" playbook as an ignorant redneck, and the film's fatal ending for Tim Allen's character mimics Eastwood at the conclusion of "Gran Torino". I think the film would have been better served to end it right after the siege at Vicente's Liquor Mart, but I guess they needed to tie up Eric's relationship with Kate (Michelle Mylett) for the classic happy ending.
