This is a cute Christmas movie. I don’t watch it every year. But every 2-3 years, it’s worth a watch.

A surprisingly funny Christmas comedy. Worth watching if you're sick of watching "A Christmas Story" again and again.

This works only because Vince Vaughn is hilarious. But the story isn’t that compelling otherwise.
