It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

One of the worst Christmas movies ever (and I've seen my fair share...)! The acting is truly horrendous and the singing... Oy vey! I really do appreciate a good Christmas flick and even ones that are really not all that good too. Just because it's that time of year :) The story idea in itself isn't even that bad but the execution of this movie is unfortunately cringeworthy... Not for one moment do I believe the two main characters in their acting. The 'meltdown' was a complete laughing stock (although, it was too stupid to even laugh...). All in all, they really should've kept this one to themselves... If this movie was a Christmas present, I wouldn't be a happy bunny.

A workaholic couple hires square-jawed David Hasselhoff (as Owen) to be their "Christmas Consultant". Mainly, this is because busy Caroline Rhea (as Maya) can't be an executive, housewife and mother while planning a successful Christmas. Looking neatly trimmed, Mr. Hasselhoff helps by decorating the house, taking Ms. Rhea for a romantic sleigh ride with silver-haired husband Barclay Hope (as Jack Fletcher) and taking their three kids out for some off-key Christmas caroling. The main event is planning a Christmas party to impress relatives and co-workers. The plan doesn't go smoothly when the airport has trouble landing planes due to Hasselhoff's excessive outdoor lighting of the Fletcher house. Then, there is an incident at the Christmas party. It looks like somebody lost her Christmas spirit, but you shouldn't give up hope. Everything is wrapped up so, so sweetly.*** The Christmas Consultant (11/10/12) John Bradshaw ~ David Hasselhoff, Caroline Rhea, Barclay Hope, Jessica McLeod

I'm sorry David Hasselhoff cannot sing & he can NOT act! This is possibly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. To be fair Hasselhoff was not the only one bad acting. The script was bad & the acting was bad & totally the wrong actors playing the parts. Epic fail! For any Christmas movie I watch I have high expectations but this movie didn't make me want Christmas at all. If I remember right (it's been a long time since I watched it)Hasselhoff was a pretty good actor back in the Knight Rider days. he now needs to retire. Caroline Rhea I usually like but she bombed badly here. Come on Lifetime, you can do much better than this.

Tepid Christmas tale is abhorrently unfunny, terribly corny, and should have never been made. Whoever approved this script should be washing cars for a living instead of writing screenplays. There's the dysfunctional family, the unrealistic plot, and the desire to make Christmas BETTER by having everyone screw up, act stupid, and hate each other...until the end that is. At first, I thought this was a Hallmark movie,but even they wouldn't go this far with one of their movies. Look, taste is subjective. I'm sure some people will like this movie. That's fine. THEY can watch it... I'll stick to the classics. Hey, I don't even like A Christmas Story, with "Ralphie" and his BB Gun, but understand how people could like THAT; it does have some cute elements, but this...this is Ho, Ho, Horrible!
