This is one of the most depressing Christmas movies ever made. There was not one thing truly funny or redeeming about the movie. The movie had a good plot and the potential to be a decent Christmas movie, but it was difficult to watch for many reasons. The dysfunctional family was pitiful. I don't know if they were suppose to be funny or not. They were not! Good actors/actresses wasted their time making this movie. There were too many curse words for a family movie. What else can I say except, disappointing and depressing? Not a holiday classic. Nice to see Candace Bergen in the movie. Great acting from Candace and Robin Williams as well as the other actors.
