The premise has potential, as does the casting, but the script is so mind-numbingly lazy that it insults its audience at every turn.

With the release of this wretched film, star Ben Affleck takes one more ragged step in what seems his death march from leading man to celebrity game show guest.

Easily the worst Christmas movie of all time, and a surefire contender for the worst film of 2004.

Ben Affleck's Christmas "comedy" is a misfire under the mistletoe, even with a germ of a classic tale hidden under the ugly wrapping.

The idea of casting Ben Affleck as some kind of giddy holiday angel who drops in and makes everything all right again was doomed from day one.

Last year, we got Bad Santa; this year, we get Bad Movie.
