Media Author Review
United States
Chicago Reader
"Another go-round for the premise of an overaged kid insinuating himself into a stranger's family."
United States
Austin Chronicle

United States
TV Guide

United States
New York Daily News
"Ben Affleck's goose is cooked with Surviving Christmas, a movie that makes 'Gigli' look like one of the crowning moments in his career."
