Christmas with the Campbells (2022) Review

Christmas comes early!

Christmas with the Campbells is a romcom Christmas themed movie starring Brittany Snow, Justin Long and Alex Moffat. It was released back in 2022 with the setting mainly in Ketchum Idaho. This is unlike romcom Christmas comedy that’s family friendly, the script in this movie is definitely 18+ and it was such a raunchy and clever writing especially the lines for Alex Moffat. Without further adieu, let me tell you what this movie is all about.

Jesse (Brittany Snow) was dumped by her long time boyfriend Shawn ( Alex Moffat) citing differences between the two. Nearing the Christmast and with nowhere to go, Shaw’s family, especially his mother, encouraged her to travel to Ketchum and spend the Christmas with them while Shaw was flying to New York for another job interview. Arriving in Ketchum, a small town in Idaho,the situation gets awkward as every person in town knows that Shawn and Jesse are no longer together yet Jesse is spending time with the Campbells. But things take a fresh turn when Campbell's nephew is visiting town, David (Justin Long) who is quite the opposite of Shawn. David was more of an outdoor person while Shawn was scummy, into monopoly and has quite a perverted side in him. David was a much more sound and responsible man. Jesse and David shared a lot more similar interests and they were bonding over it. As time passes, they both seemed like they were falling in love until Shawn, not knowing Jesse was in the house, comes back and wants to settle down and reconcile with Jesse. Who will Jesse choose?

Other than its stunning views of Idaho, this movie deserves your time because of its funny lines and great acting from Brittany Snow. It feels so natural and exudes warmth of Christmas. It is also not your regular Christmas themed movie so, make sure not to watch it with children around. Alex Moffat in this film successfully annoyed me and convinced me that he was a jerk. I mean, in my dictionary it’s 6 out of 7 just and it’s worth your time!
