Eric asks if his dad lives there, but the man claims to know nothing of his whereabouts. An older shabby looking man (Tim Allen) opens the door and is rather belligerent towards Eric. The disjointed Christmas flick begins with Eric Roth knocking on the door of the apartment that he believes to be his long-lost father’s. The acting itself was believable, but the actors were put in roles that took them nowhere. While it isn’t necessarily an Oscar-winning cast, the cast itself is at least respectable, and had potential to deliver a great movie, however, this below-average movie was the product of bad writing, not performances. Talbert and stars Tim Allen, Luke Grimes ( Into The Wild), Dax Shepard, Kurtwood Smith ( That 70’s Show), Jessica Alba, and Vincent D’Onofrio. The Netflix original movie, El Camino Christmas, was directed by David E. It was a very slow movie, but I kept watching because there were points when I expected it to pick up only to be continually let down. With poor writing and an out-of-whack storyline, this movie is not worth the time, nor will it put you in the Christmas spirit. El Camino Christmas displays over-used themes such as, a corrupt police force, a hostage situation, and a drunk father who has never met his son, which all fail in their potential and came across as forced and poorly executed. In the fictional small town of El Camino, Nevada, a young man named Eric Roth (Luke Grimes) arrives in town on Christmas Eve to seek out his father (Tim Allen) that he has never met.
