A Very Jonas Christmas Movie

How This Works – Read Other Reviews

Hello Cinephiles,

Today we’re talking about the 2025 film A Very Jonas Christmas Movie.

Story

This is a combination of the “must get home for Christmas” and American “European vacation” tropes. It’s done extremely PG but never feels like they held back on their humour. It wasn’t original but didn’t need to be. The story delivered with lots of emotion. I really appreciate magic being the reason for all the mishaps instead of the brothers doing stupid things.

Score: 1

Characters

No matter how intense your knowledge of the band is, the characters they play are very obvious. The neurotic “mom friend”, the womanizer, and the innocent everyman. They play the roles well and even managed to do a good job of fleshing out their feelings. The story arc for each character is fun and rewarding.

Do yourself a favour and watch it with a longtime fan, they’ll let you know the in-jokes.

Score: 1

Dialogue

Standard brother banter. I like that sometimes when they teased each other it hurt. So often in movies, men will say horribly mean things to each other and there are no consequences.

Score: 1

Visuals and Music

The visuals were standard Disney TV fare. Nothing special, but they did a good job.

The music was excellent and I look forward to getting the album.

Score: 1

Fun

I don’t know the group super well but I enjoyed this a lot. It was feel good, low angst, and fun. The whole family was glued to their seats.

Score: 1

Overall

A fun Christmas movie for anyone, even if you know little about the Jonas brothers. The music, the dialogue, and the hijinks are all delightful.

Final Score: 5 Stars out of 5*

*A 5 star review doesn’t mean the movie was perfect nor that it is perfect for everyone but it is a movie I believe is as close to perfect as possible.
