This film misses the mark on every level. It takes Groundhog Day, removes the majority of the humour (I think I laughed few times but not really at the jokes), the acting ability, the emotional connection to characters, basically anything positive. People are being nice to this movie mainly because it is a Christmas film, and I understand that (I love Xmas pop music in spite of how good it is). However, this is just too shockingly bad. When Kevin is meant to have learned his lesson and is being nice he comes across as smarmy and worse than before. His wife (who appears to be about 20 years his senior) seems to have gotten on with her life and has a new boyfriend who seems very nice. What becomes of him at the end of this long, mishmash of a movie? Who cares, because Kev got his way in the end - woop. Writing about the film makes me want to eat my own fists so I'll end it here - just don't watch it unless, like me, you have a soft spot for mocking terrible films with friends.
score 1/10
