STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!


I thought I'd like to see this movie,even though I hate BEN AFFLECK(EWWWW) I actually thought this particular movie would be funny, but it turns out it is a load of sh*t. I wasted my money for some geeky a$$ movie on SURVIVING CHRISTMAS! Don't watch this movie and don't rent it. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know if someone offered me the DVD for free I wouldn't even take it. This definitely ranks as one of the worst movies/script ever with the worst lead character.

reply

dude, to make it worse, there even wasn't a script...they made it up as it went along

I thaught that because Tony Soprano was in this...that it would be good...but Ben Affleck ruins another one...i think i may have enjoyed this movie if he wasn't in this..

What majorally turned me off was the porn shot of the mother. This is a Christmas movie for crying out loud.

lol, I agree-it was a crap movie. It's not my sort of movie to begin with ("stupid" variety comedy, combined with chick flick romance), but my sister absolutely insisted we had to rent it because she "loves Christmas movies." So.....we just watched it. One of the longest hour and a halfs of my life--almost as bad as the time I spent reading the twilight books. *shudder*

Worst part? My sis was laughing her a$$ off the entire bloody movie, proclaiming it the funniest thing she'd ever seen. She wouldn't stop laughing and yeah....She thinks the movie was awesome.

*sigh* It's times like this I swear one of us was mixed up at the hospital.

Come on !!!! This was a good movie. Not everyone has ad a Norman Rockwell Christmas. not every family is the same as every loving Hallmark Christmas card. Lighten up.

This movie is so bad that the trolls come around to rave. Usually, they pan a movie. When they say that my favorites are terrible, I scoff. But when they say they like this movie...I go into a homicidal fits of rage. I know they are just trolls. But this movie is so bad that I can't help it. If they use this movie at Gitmo, then I just became a lib. No human deserves that kind of treatment, not even al Qaeda. That's it. We should use Ben Affleck to win the war on terror.

I just caught this abortion on TBS (I suppose that's what's led to much of the recent traffic on this board). I often like Ben Affleck (I'm one of the few who thought he was perfect in [u]DareDevil[/u]), but he did nauseate me in this. It's what's been said: awful script, terrible performances, lazily-thrown-together nonsense. I just wanted to throw my bitching into the pot.

reply

Same here, I avoided this movie for several years but since it was on TBS for free I figured "what the hell?!". Holy lord it was bad!!!I swear I sat through the whole thing hoping for a miracle but man this was bad, ranks up there with Ishtar! I feel for those poor people that paid to see this "movie"!

Hey maybe we should put together a list of terrible Christmas movies?

I'll start:

Deck the Halls - 2006 - I think describing how terrible this one is all I'd need to say is Danny DeVito (who's inexplicably married to a hot younger woman with two equally hot blonde twin daughters), is determined to decorate his house so you can see his Christmas lights from space. Yes, FROM SPACE. I'd suggest not going further than rooting through the IMDb gallery on this one, folks.

The Careful Movers.

I agree. I think this movie is fantastic! LOVED IT. I am assuming those who do not like it have zero sense of humor. Their loss...
