My Response: While this one looks to try to be an American version of Love Actually, it falls way short. It may be the best romantic comedy to come out in a while, but that's not saying much.

My Response: There is one reason this movie was made: to make money off little kids. It's a pretty simple formula that usually ends with good results. All you have to do is follow these steps: make a cheap movie and bombard kid's TV shows with commercials for it (which in turn make the kids beg their parents to take them). This is a great plan because the movie theater gets to sell two tickets (1 for the kid, 1 for the parent), although only 1 person wants to go. Avoid this movie at all costs (even if your child complains too much, trust me!).
