Better than I expected

That's true. When I sat down to watch "How the Gringo Stole Christmas" I expected it to be really bad. I'm no fan of George Lopez. I've never liked his standup/sitcoms. But I have to admit, Lopez does a pretty good job in this movie. His Mexican Archie Bunker routine wears itself pretty thin sometimes but he also gets more than a handful of laughs. Now, I don't want to be mean but I have to mention that I was a little surprised by how Lopez looks. He's not an attractive man. He often looks like a Mexican version of Shemp Howard. His supporting cast scores pretty well on the likeability chart, especially the three homies, which helps the movie out quite a bit. As far as super low budget straight-to-video Christmas movies go, "How the Gringo Stole Christmas" isn't so bad.

sure its bad but actually..

Its not the best christmas film, but not the worst ive watched and it certainly isnt the worst film ever. Claudia wants to go away for the holidays, she has not seen her family but to her surprise boyfriend leif, odd name but its ok, he pays to fly her home for the holidays. George lopez plays bennie her father and has the best acting of this film. He has strict values and so his daughter dating an american is not something he wants. Lets give the film two stars because it actually has a good title. But one needs to be taken off because they did lopez dirty with whatever they did to his face. But ill add another as he did have the best acting. Another point ill add for the three guys outside the house who I assume represent the three wise men and it fitted well to this. To get us to five stars ill add to more for the overall enjoyment. Not overally christmas feeling but it did have a sweet outcome that might be predictable. Overall an odd comedy but given the right audience people will enjoy it all the same.

Tubi quality movie

What can be said about this movie that hasn't been said about Tony Wiseau.George Lopez is still a comical force, this movie just falls short of its true potential, it felt forced and rushed, the characters somewhat flowed with each other, but they lacked a genuine connection.The editing was not there at all, the acting didn't have fluidity, the writing is corny and flatBut, it's George Lopez. So it'll pass for humerus and a good way to kill sometime while you're eating some ribs surfing movies to watchIdk what else to say now.George looks a lot different now right?Like bro wht ........
