Crassly enjoyable.
The film has its funny moments, but they are too few to make the holiday excursion worthwhile.
We got two gold-record singers and they don't sing? So? We got five Oscar-winning actors, and they don't need to act much.
Oddly misanthropic, occasionally amusing but thoroughly cheerless holiday attraction that is in no way a family film.
Bad enough to create one of the most joyless Christmas movies ever, but then to go for an unearned feel-good ending adds insult to injury.
