Almost had me on the fence with its good natured charm, but when it became a 'reason for the season' movie I called it. Also highly dubious intentions when you are simultaneously glorifying capitalism's most enduring icons: Coca Cola, McDonald's and The Terminator.

I saw this on PBS years ago over the holidays and found it to be warm and funny - a perfect diversion. Was also fun to see Lenny Henry and Rowan Atkinson out of their typical roles. Definitely something I'd watch again if I caught it channel-surfing.
