Jack Whitehall: Christmas with My Father (2019 TV Special) User Reviews

Not as good as Travels With My Father, but provides some laughs anyway

[maccas-56367 · 6/10 · 22 December 2019]

Well, it made me and my family laugh numerous times. Not every joke succeeded though and I found some parts tedious and unfunny; but it kept moving at a decent pace.

Not as good as "Travels With My Father" but part of me enjoyed it. This will be as close to getting in the Christmas spirit as I'll get this year. Father Whitehall provides the vast majority of laughs in the TV series and this show.

It seemed a bit disjointed at times with the "Queer Eye" elements. 'The King's Speech' managed to succeed in being the most offensive thing I've seen in a while. Also somehow inspired me to watch "The Nightingale" soon, about a convict in Australia who seeks revenge on her English oppressors.

The best bit was Hugh Bonneville reading 'The Grouch'. Thought Jack was trying to be some lame imitation of James Corden in the musical finale. Fans will either love or hate this. As for me, I was somewhere in the middle.

Has to be the worst thing I've ever watched

I use it for over 10 years now, never registered, but had to do it just because of this garbage, as I felt I must save people 1.5hrs of their time watching the worst comedy documentary or whatever it is. Jack clearly thinks his father is hilarious, what a lack of awarness, talentless, unfunny, how did he get anywhere close to doing this special ?

Wholesome? Who wants that?

I watch Jack and his Dad for their interaction and family dynamic, which is always hilarious. Here's hoping for more Travels with my Father and other specials!

Not even remotely wholesome.

For a "Christmas special" I had thought they would find a way to keep it funny but not crass. I was wrong; clearly they aren't that talented. Way too much attention was spent talking about Michael's sex life, and the Queer Eye guys wanting to hump him because of his old pictures.

Why all the hate?

It's quite funny, it's not the best but it's fun. I gave it only 8 cause I don't get why the Downton abbey guy comes on to plug some lame Paddington movie... But it doesn't deserve all the 1 stars.

Worst thing ever

[joemo-336-966648 · 1/10 · 21 December 2019]

I am very surprised that Netflix have allowed this to be broadcast , Huge bonoville actually looked embarrassed to be featured on this

Very weak.

[andriuslg · 1/10 · 16 December 2019]

Jack nor his dad are funny. Jack speaks in monotone thru out this and his whole life in general. Very poor thru out. Imagine paying money to watch it... Day light roberry.

An Irreverent Glimpse Into Whitehall Christmases Past & Present

[tomeg-27557 · 8/10 · 17 October 2021]

A Christmas comedy special hosted by Jack Whitehall with glimpses of past family holidays through video & pictures. Jack & his father Michael's self-deprecating & irreverent humor make for a fun evening.

To say this is in bad taste, is an understatement

[nitestar95 · 1/10 · 8 February 2020]

Should have been titled, 'Come join me and help me make fun of my old, out of touch, dad'. This is how adolescents behave, and I'm sorry to say, it appears that this whole generation believes that it's great to poke fun at old folks and how peculiar their behavior was in the past. Wait patiently, young people, your turn will come to look ridiculous to younger people, it's only a matter of time.

Not funny

[firti · 1/10 · 29 December 2019]

When i saw him at Graham norton show i thought he may be a funny guy even the father can not save this waste of time thing sprinkled with famous people such a shame

jack whitehall's ignoramus Father

[allanmichael30 · 1/10 · 2 January 2020]

He shares home videos that are cringe worthy of his father belittling his mother in front of a young jack and saying daddy loves mummy's Breast. This was not as bad as Nick Hewer who confessed on countdown of hovering up his sons sick when he was looking after him but still pretty shocking. What is the fascination of these stuck up halfwits.
