Acting sucks big time.

I had the opposite opinion. I thought the actors were doing what they could with the **** they had to work with.

This is among the worst movies I have ever seen. If this had been Ben Affleck's first movie, it could have easily been his last. His "acting" is so over the top it's embarassing. I also agree that it seemed like every scene was shot with one take, no matter how bad it turned out. James Gandolfini looked and acted like he had ended up in this piece of dreck by mistake. Catherine O'Hara made this Christmas flick feel like Home Alone as seen through the eyes of Fellini. (The photo session scenes were hard to stomach...) If not for Christina Applegate, it would have been impossible to keep looking at the screen. They should give medals for surviving "Surviving Christmas"!
