Philip (Steve Martin), the manager, has just been informed by the landlord that the they are being evicted and suddenly business around the office seems as crazy as the callers who are clogging the lines! Over one night, the offbeat characters around the office and in the neighborhood--from timid Catherine (Rita Wilson), to rapping Mrs. Munchnik (Madeline Kahn), to pregnant Grace (Juliette Lewis), to cross-dressing Chris (Liev Schrieber)--will all learn that Christmas can be a happy time regardless of your mental state. Director Nora Ephron (SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE) co-scripted this quirky holiday comedy with sister Delia. [More]

Director/co-scripter Nora Ephron pitches the humor at a cacophonous level and displays the comedic equivalent of two left feet in evolving an absurdist, slapstick yarn. Full Review |

|
A relentlessly hectic, poorly structured farce that falls embarrassingly flat. Full Review |
|||
|
The beginning of Steve Martin's non-funny comedies. Ephron should know better as well. Full Review |
|||
|
Martin's comedic talents show no signs of life in this truly abysmal adaptation of a superior French farce... Full Review |
|||
|
Ephron's timing and sensitivity have deserted her, leaving behind only the sentimentality. Full Review |

|
A dreadful, dreary would-be dark comedy.

Quirky, enjoyable comedy with an unknown Parker Posey on roller skates and Adam Sandler being charming in a real minor part.
|

|
Awful -- even worse when you think about the caliber of talent involved
|
|||
|
Terrible comedy with a few amusing moments. Not dark enough on one end, not silly enough on the other.

A title song incorporating the names of nut varieties is only one of the film's desperate ploys. Full Review |

Steve Martin can be good, and also very, very bad. This is an example of the latter.
