It’s a boorish “sex” comedy without a line or situation that amuses, an all-star all-in-one-house holiday romp that never romps and a Britcom-ish farce that would never make it to British TV, even boiled down to a half hour of its “best” bits.

Father Christmas is Back is billed as a comedy, but it's actually a mystery, or several mysteries wrapped in an enigma. The enigma being "How did this turkey get made?" Or why assemble a cast for adults when the script is for children? Lots of bathroom jokes and the star is a toilet brush who brings more personality to the screen than Liz Hurley. Or why do two sophisticated and sober sisters get into a food fight? Another one for the kiddies, perhaps. Or why do the cars pull into the half-acre parking area at the front of the manor house and stop 50 feet from the entrance? It's a big place - we get it. Lots of mysteries and no answers here. Pass on this one if your older than 12.

Terrible writing, terrible acting, terrible story. It's so bad it's almost good, but not quite. There is not enough you can say about the badness of this Christmas turkey. When people debate the best Christmas movies this movie has no competition for the worst.

Undoubtedly the worst film I've ever watched in my life. Everything about it is irrelevant and dull. don't waste your time, stay away.
