Very lite and funny, 2008-12-21
This moving is great if you're looking for a lite hearted comedy for the Christmas season. It gives you the warm feeling at the end, which is what the Christmas season is all about. You don't have to overthink this one. Just sit back and enjoy!

It was a gift, 2008-12-16
I've never seen the movie myself but a coworker had looked all over for it and could'nt find it so I offered to order it for her, and she was thrilled

one of the funniest Christmas movies ever!, 2008-11-29
The first time I saw this movie I was feeling a bit depressed...I'd been trying to buy a house for ages and everything kept coming up NO and it was just frustrating...so I had no expectations of being amused - I was just there with a couple of other friends and my daughter... br /Boy, did I laugh myself silly! So many of the situations were so incongruous - my favorite was the "mini marshmallows". I couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD...it seemed to take forever. I still can't understand why some people just don't see the humor in it! My daughter and I just laugh at the mention of the movie - and we look forward to watching it every year - I have to wait till she comes home from college this year - she begged me to wait!

Great surprise movie, 2008-01-20
This movie was a great surprise. It was one of the funnies movies we had seen in quite a while. We rented it from a video store when we had a friend in, and then we rented it again a week later when our kids came home, and then just decided to buy it because we enjoyed it so much. I looked everywhere for the movie - WalMart, Target, etc. Decided to order from Amazon - got it quickly, as always, with Amazon. Great movie for laughing out loud!

Reasonably Amusing, 2008-01-02
Imagine a rich spoiled young man that decides since none of his family or co-workers have invited him for Christmas he will buy it from a family. Affleck plays the spoiled young man reasonably well and the casting of the family is decent. He offers them a quarter of a million to let him stay with them over the week of Christmas. At first things are very strained as he makes all kinds of demands for food and favors but the money makes them grin and bare it. With time an understanding is reached and the family is not quite as dysfunctional.
