70Ultimately something of a softball satire, its climactic evocation of the "true meaning" of the holidays is surprisingly touching.
-
50Not an abomination, although it is uninspired and insipid. As such, it's perfect television fare.
-
38They pull it off, but even if you believe in Santa, you'll never believe that this is any sort of holiday classic.
-
38Phony, disingenuous family entertainment, suffocated by its green bean casserole approach to Middle America, spineless cardboard characters and paper-thin plot "twists."

DirkR4Read the book. It will take you the same amount of time as the movie, and it's definitely more enjoyable.
