Jack in Time for Christmas
I️ thiught this was some kind of Christmas themed movie but it was more of a British comedy special. Jack Whitehall (British comedian/actor) finds himself stranded in America just 4 days before Christmas & he is trying to get home (United Kingdom) to celebrate with his family. His journey ends up a long round about way involving planes, trains, bobsleds, dog sleds, & taxis while hooking up with Jimmy Fallon, Michael Blublé, Dave Bautista, & Rebel Wilson. I️ found this film just amusing rather than funny. It’s just silly goofiness to me or maybe it’s British sense of humor. It felt more like a traveling standup comedy routine with celebrity guest stars rather than a regular movie. Fortunately, it only runs slightly over one hour.
Alien gives it 1½ “Planes, Trains, & Automobiles parody” stars out of 4.
