A wealthy executive, Drew Latham (Ben Affleck) has no close relationships and becomes nostalgic for his childhood home as Christmas approaches. When he visits the house and finds another family living there, he offers the residents, Tom Valco (James Gandolfini) and his wife, Christine (Catherine O'Hara), a large sum of money to pretend they are his parents. Soon Drew tests the couple's patience, and, when their daughter, Alicia (Christina Applegate), arrives, things get increasingly tense.

User Reviews

Same old Christmas formula rolled out again.

It a bad Christmas movie with a premise that could have worked if main character wasn’t stupid & writing, Affleck sucks but everyone else ok

The stupidest premise of all, but at the end, the performances of Gandolfini and O’Hara saves the movie. Entertaining and funny.

Therese Carpentier

Was a little funny, it was fun to watch.

Mediocre Christmas film, but if you’re looking for something new it’s worth a watch.

Joseph Last Name

Just a dumb Christmas movie that’s a waste of everybody time

outrageous storyline that ended up being pretty funny

Better than I expected. Not a bad Christmas comedy.

Cute christmas movie!
