My Response: This looks to be the best mainstream holiday film this season, as it should be leaps and bounds better than Four Christmas. Don't expect it to be hugely memorable, but definitely check this one out if you are in the holiday spirit, and have a good time.

WHY?! Why must we be subjected to these terrible holiday movies each year??

Because they make money. The #1 movie at the box office for the last two weeks was the dreadfully bad "Four Christmases".

It's one of the worst movies of the year, and it's going to make more money than several movies that will win some Oscars. Explain that!
