This silly action comedy mixes brilliant production design -- it looks like a Norman Rockwell painting come to life -- and cloying sentimentality to no good effect.

None of this is funny.

Harmless and totally familiar, it's better than static and informercials, but that's about the sum of it.

The question is, can a trio of amiable goofballs take you through a movie that's, well, not so great?

Considering that there isn't a single laugh in the whole picture, the term 'comedy' must be used loosely.

Top CriticIn no circumstances, even under threat of torture, admit to anyone that you were suckered into seeing this, one of the worst movies of the year.

Top CriticIt's a minor holiday miracle that this homey comedy barely elicits even a chuckle.

Has enough in the way of sentiment and goofy situational predicaments to put it over as a serviceable family holiday attraction.

Top CriticCage looks cold most of the time, and has retractable stubble. The rest of the cast look like they're waiting for summer.
