Christmas with the Campbells

Christmas with the Campbells is a 2022 American romantic comedy film directed by Clare Niederpruem and written by Barbara Kymlicka, Dan Lagana and Vince Vaughn.

Scenes were also shot on mountains in Utah, near Provo City, causing the cast and crew to have to use snowmobile equipment to reach the shooting location.

[7] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote: "Christmas With the Campbells is like a weirdly creative holiday drink; you wouldn’t expect those ingredients to work together, but somehow, they do.

"[8] Ethan Anderton for Slashfilm wrote: "This is the hilarious hidden gem of the holidays, and it's better than any of the other new releases trying to hit that Christmas sweet spot this season.

"[9] Reviewing for Screen Rant, Rachel Labonte stated, "Christmas with the Campbells tries to take some big swings toward shaking up the conventional holiday movie mold, but it ultimately ends up being more of the same, just with some sticky moments.

"[10] Critics praised the combination of Vaughn's R-Rated dialogue with Niederpruem's experience working with Hallmark-style films, with one review by Matthew Jackson for The A.V.

Club reading, "It’s a surprisingly thoughtful blend of earnest and silly, and Niederpruem’s confident, Hallmark-tinged direction only adds to that sense of familiar surroundings ready to be subverted.

"[11] Some criticised the concept, with Roger Moore of Movie Nation describing the film as a "soft-and-squishy Christmas rom-com that tries ever-so-hard to be “edgy” when it oh-so-obviously isn’t.

"[12] Randy Myers for San Jose Mercury News stated that the film "tries something different", yet criticised it as "it all amounts to a lot of naughty talk and no action.
