---|---|---|---|---|
"Another go-round for the premise of an overaged kid insinuating himself into a stranger's family." | ||||
"Cynical yet mildly amusing Yuletide-season comedy." | ||||
"Just like many real-life holiday get-togethers with the family, this comedy starts out pleasantly enough but degenerates into awkwardness" | ||||
"Can't decide whether it wants to be a black comedy, dumb farce, or sentimental sit-com." | ||||
"Absolutely awesome in its relentless mediocrity." | ||||
"A dismally formulaic hodgepodge of crude humor and wan attempts to tug at the heart." | ||||
"Everything about it is manufactured -- the emotions are false, the sentiments are phony, and the story is a construction of mirthless silliness. It's a product, not a creative expression." | ||||
"Ben Affleck's goose is cooked with Surviving Christmas, a movie that makes 'Gigli' look like one of the crowning moments in his career." |
