"Great, I hijacked my fucking parents." 05/13/2009

It's been a LONG time since I've seen this, but god I liked back in the day :-)

Probably one of the better feelgood Christmas movies out there. Clearly aimed at an adult audience and resists all temptations to descend into sentimentality. The plot is pretty predictable, but the writing is really good, and so is the acting, although it took some time for me to get used to seeing Kevin Spacey in a role where he's not a sociopath.

Hit or miss movie has some pretty funny parts but often times is lazy and stereotypical with its characters. Still good enough to watch.

The "American Beauty" of screwball comedies. While the premise is flawed at the very least (literally all Leary had to do to break in was accidentally trigger the world's worst home security system), the characters are archetypal without being cartoonish or broad, and even if that wasn't the case there are more than enough solid one-liners to carry the movie anyway. This is also probably the only time Denis Leary's signature misanthropy has been the least bit appealing.

I lvoe this one...Very Funny

Pretty good.

Not well acted at times..but funny as HELL

Remember those couple of years when Denis Leary seemed relevant?

Generally uneven, but Spacey, Davis, and Leary are all very entertaining squabbling on screen.

Denis Leary is a very bad actor. Everyone else in the film is mostly fine, but Leary is dry and forced with everything he says. His sarcastic unfunniness does not help the film in any way. Ugh!

Some great one-liners in this one, and overall, a fun movie.
