-
As light, fluffy, cockle-warming holiday entertainment, this thing is pretty sweet.
-
50There are a few amusing moments, helped by subdued performances from Affleck and Gandolfini, but this is no "Bad Santa" despite its obvious ambition to play similar holiday tricks.
-
38Can't decide whether it wants to be a black comedy, dumb farce, or sentimental sit-com.
-
38Some screwball moments elicit a chuckle or two, but the script is weak and the characterizations clichéd.
