Amazon.com:
Ben Affleck is well-cast as Drew Latham, a millionaire on the verge of nervous collapse, a man with no sense of self who tries to buy the trappings of life--including the family that just happens to be living in his childhood home. He jumps around with a plastic smile on his face, trying to impose himself on the bribed household, who--even though the parents are on the verge of divorce--are still more psychologically coherent than he is. Surviving Christmas has been unfairly trashed due to anti-Affleck sentiment in the post-Gigli era; though the movie eventually succumbs to bland formula, it has some moments of bracing dark comedy and genuine empathy, mostly thanks to James Gandolfini (The Sopranos, The Mexican) and Catherine O'Hara (A Mighty Wind, Beetlejuice) as the parents--two superb actors who could breathe life into any banal script. Also featuring Christina Applegate (Anchorman, View from the Top). --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Great surprise movie
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!
Rating: - Reasonably Amusing
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - I quit after 20 minutes
This is such an artificial movie. Acting is nearby that bad as the storyline. There are really very few movies out there that do not touch me, but this one really does not. Everything is so forseeable. The guy who is big in selling advertisement, presenting his client's product on christmas for the people that have it so hard to go through it with their hatred family, then he for himself does not even have a family and finds himself on christmas alone. Of course as a successfull business man he pays ... Read More

Rating: - Ho Ho Humdrum
THIS IS THE WORST EXCUSE FOR A CHRISTMAS FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN.I HAVE SEEN CHRISTMAS TRIVIALIZED AND ABUSED IN MANY WAYS, BUT THIS FILM "TAKES THE CAKE."
FOR ONE THING, THE CASTING WAS WHACKED. THE MAIN ROLE (DREW) SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO BEN AFFLECK.BEN AFFLECK IS A PERSONALITY ACTOR (BASED ON MY OBSERVATION) AND NOT A CHARACTER ACTOR.IT MAY NOT BE MY BUSINESS TO JUDGE THE WISDOM OF HOLLYWOOD, BUT I'VE HAD ENOUGH TRAINING AND EXPOSURE TO ACTING TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO ...
