Critics' Reviews

38
ReelViews: James Berardinelli
Can't decide whether it wants to be a black comedy, dumb farce, or sentimental sit-com.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Claudia Puig
Some screwball moments elicit a chuckle or two, but the script is weak and the characterizations clichéd.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Desson Thomson
Absolutely awesome in its relentless mediocrity.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Stephen Holden
As you watch the comedy lurch along, the woozy, sinking sensation it produces suggests a movie slapped together after the consumption of far too many gallons of that spiked eggnog.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Kevin Crust
A dismally formulaic hodgepodge of crude humor and wan attempts to tug at the heart.Read Full Review »
25
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Darel Jevens
Pulling off a premise this creepy and cockamamie would require a lot of skill, far more than can be found in the director of "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" and the writers of "A Very Brady Sequel."Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Wesley Morris
It's the sort of stupid swill that gets spewed out by a studio committee, slapped together without a brain, a heart, or a good idea about where to put a camera or when to cut a scene.Read Full Review »

NewsWeek: David Ansen
The folks who served up this formulaic swill seem to think comedy grants you a free pass from credibility. Our lonely hero's artificial Yuletide enthusiasm is more than odd: it's not recognizably human.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Jessica Winter
This ghastly comedy emits the subliminal whine of a sucking chest wound.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lisa Schwarzbaum
There are no survivors here.Read Full Review »
