BBoozer Review of Christmas with the Campbells

Christmas with the Campbells (2022)

Firmly Planted at the intersection of Hallmark Place & John Waters Blvd

[7/10 · 18 December 2022]

This is clearly tongue-in-cheek take on a Hallmark movie justixposed with the typical John Waters style small town seemingly normal weirdos, just not in Baltimore. Pay close attention to the aside conversations between the mother and father characters (played by Cheers veteran George Wendt and Newhart alum Julia Duffy) that add absolutely nothing to the story, but add all the true color, and the the small town busy body that makes all the off color remarks that are the bread and butter of absurd comedies All of this only to end with the predictable Hallmark holiday ending. Still, better fodder than the typical Hallmark Christmas fare.
