So you know how a few weeks ago I reviewed a movie called Back to Christmas and it was the worst thing I had ever seen? Well, I am sad to say, that I may have found another Christmas movie that is even worse. I know, it doesn't seem possible, but it just might be true. It's Christmas Eve Eve and I am on my couch ignoring all the things I have to do and watching a movie instead. Christmas Crush has been on my list for a while because it has Jonathan Bennett in it- you know, the guy who plays Aaron Samuels in Mean Girls. Unfortunately, even he can't save this one.
I guess the most perplexing thing to me about this movie is how it has anything to do with Christmas. My theory is that they had to make it semi-holiday themed so that they could sell it to us this time of year when we all crave a cheesy feel-good romance. Otherwise, this is just a really bad high school reunion movie. I want to summarize the plot but I don't think it exists. It's so faint you can barely see it.
The main gist is this: Georgia, a struggling fashion designer's assistant, returns home for Christmas and her ten year high school reunion. Are high school reunions usually at Christmas? I didn't think so. Georgia's friends (three of the most ridiculously stuck-in-high-school idiots that have ever graced the movie screen) convince her to join them in performing at the high school reunion with their glee club. These friends are the worst- there's the dumb one, the skanky one and the bitchy one who is still holding onto a high school grudge for no reason. How anyone was ever friends with them is beyond me and why they are still so stuck in high school is too.
Georgia decides to attend the reunion for one reason- to win back Craig, her high school boyfriend that she dumped at prom ten years earlier. The cliche love triangle is made complete by her former best friend, Ben Oliver (Jonathan Bennett) who she also convinces to attend the reunion.
The remainder of the movie consists of the entire cast milling around a high school gym, flashbacks to high school, some really bad, borderline inappropriate musical numbers (think Jingle Bells from Mean Girls but not at all funny), and Ben attempting to tell Georgia he's in love with her every five minutes. There is literally no point to this movie. There is nothing Christmassy about it except for the fact that it takes place in December.
My main hope in writing this review is to save others from suffering through this garbage. I am going to rate it a 1 out of 10 and it only gets that generous a rating because it has Aaron Samuels in it. Otherwise, I would probably have to give it a zero. Seriously, don't watch it. It's so bad.
