A Very Jonas Christmas Movie
What's the Story?
It's almost Christmas, and the Jonas Brothers (Nick, Kevin, and Joe, playing heightened versions of themselves) have just ended a tiring tour. They're ready to get back to their families, and they're feeling pretty cranky, to boot. So Santa decides it's time to share a little Christmas joy as only he can—injecting a little mayhem into their attempts to return home. This means a whirlwind trip across Europe, where the bros find themselves, old friends, and of course, the Christmas spirit.
Is It Any Good?
This goofy movie is better than it has any right to be; it's a holiday blast of nostalgic musical chaos. A Very Jonas Christmas Movie gives each brother time to shine, and viewers will find themselves laughing in spite of themselves. Directed by Jessica Yu, who also helmed the similarly vibed Quiz Lady, the pace is fast and driven by fun, with a few brief stops for romance. The songs may be forgettable, and the plot contrived, but this film is still a delightful holiday diversion for fans old and new.
