You Can't Fight Christmas (2017) User Reviews

Good sunday afternoon watch

[sotheguy · 6/10 · 31 December 2017]

This is a "sister" movie to Miss Me This Christmas ...and in my humble opinion, better. So I would advise watching that one first, then give it at least a day, then check this one. It's light hearted and they've tried to stay away from the usual stereotypes of black movies. Remember it's still a light lovable tv movie. Overall it's a good watch and the characters are generally believable and even likeable.

It was okay

[yaayeelee · 3/10 · 22 October 2018]

The movie was alright. Not really that great but had potential to be better. Story line was kind of messy and the acting was really cringey.

Lead Female Star

[klafrance-20945 · 1/10 · 13 November 2018]

Her acting was so bad I had to stop watching mid way, I thought they picked her for her voice but it was way below mediocre. She really brought down the film.

Not a good movie

[shateyaturner · 3/10 · 24 November 2018]

This movie was really bad.. it had potential but the acting/script was cringy. The lead female actor is a little too dramatic with her acting.. would not recommend

Not good!

[lboddie-80748 · 2/10 · 17 December 2018]

This movie had good potential, but the acting was so over-the-top and dramatic that it was annoying. It was "stage play" type acting. Blah.

Bad movie

[maraionicioiu · 2/10 · 6 December 2018]

I gave it 2 stars because I've seen worse. I usually enjoy cheesy Christmas films, but this one was really poor. The acting and the plot were bad and cringy.

Acting did not feel believable

[vgarris-13875 · 1/10 · 29 November 2018]

Script was messy, acting was over the top. Not believable. No chemistry between lead and love interest. Bad choice for casting.

Fun Christmas Movie

[lingos · 8/10 · 30 November 2018]

I liked this Christmas movie. Lots of spirit, and a slightly unusual take on Christmas, and romance.

Try fighting the boredom that is this movie...

[paul_haakonsen · 2/10 · 24 December 2021]

So you can't fight Christmas huh? Well, nor could you fight the boredom delivered by writer Marnie Martin and director Kenny Young.

When I sat down to watch the 2017 Christmas movie "You Can't Fight Christmas", I did so without having the slightest idea what this movie was about. Nor had I actually ever heard about this movie. So I had virtually no idea what I was in for here.

But still, with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, and with the opportunity presenting itself to watch it as part of my Christmas bender this year, of course I opted to give "You Can't Fight Christmas" a chance.

Turns out that I was in for a story fully devoid of anything interesting in terms of storyline and plot. The storyline, as written by Marnie Martin, completely fell short of managing to entertain me in any way. And I actually ended up quitting on the movie way before it came to an end. I just couldn't take any more of the boredom that was "You Can't Fight Christmas".

And it didn't help much that the characters in the movie were as bland and mundane as a cardboard box.

If you enjoy Christmas movies, then there are far, far better choices readily available out there in an abundance. Take heed and don't waste your time on "You Can't Fight Christmas". Some of us did, so you don't have to.

My rating of "You Can't Fight Christmas" lands on a two out of ten stars.

Definitely a funny one...

The storyline is typical Christmas but I love that the main character is relatable. I enjoyed it very much!

Large is best

[Littlejess561 · 10/10 · 30 November 2018]

Sassy characters, incredible story but it's about the journey not the destination

I love this movie!!!
