I really enjoy many of the low budget, made for TV Christmas movies. ABC Family, Hallmark and Lifetime are a few of the networks that have produced some very special, heart-warming stories. Right now I envision an executive at ABC Family who is in fear of not having a job at the turn of the New Year.
Yeah, it was that bad. Jay Mohr had a few okay moments, but overall he didn't provide much of a performance. Combine that with the script and (non)supporting cast and you have a long, dull two hours that could have been better spent shoveling snow.
Peas on Earth! Jesus fighting! Easy Bake Oven! A BRAND New Car! The winning lottery numbers! Belching Christmas carols at the dinner table!
The movie tries quite a few outlandish style gags and goofs but the cast simply fails to back any of it up with any sort of reaction worthy of the stunts.
This movie isn't worth a whole lot more, but I do have to ask just where in the name of all creation did Todd disappear to when Jay Mohr and his ex-wife finish the movie playing tonsil hockey? One would think that a guy who started the day by buying his girlfriend a new car and planning a huge moment to ask her to marry him in front of the whole family would only vanish into thin air after he hid the bodies!
score 2/10
