I had such high-hopes for this one...holiday movie featuring dysfunctional families = priceless (usually). This movie just missed the mark and had so many opportunities to be funny and just fell short. I actually found myself crying (in a sad way) at one point…that to me people is no comedy..ok I am a hyper-sensitive person but come on! There were a couple of moments that made me giggle such as the photo album of Reese’s character but that just wasn’t enough. Save your $$..actually put in a jar labeled “Visit JenniB fund”
One thing that worries me is the ending, it leaves an opening for a sequel…Hollywood if you are listening..Save your money and send it to my friends for the visit JenniB fund!
PS I have purposefully not mentioned Thanksgiving as there will be a proper post as soon as I get my hands on the pictures.

You really had high hopes for this movie? I'm a sucker for christmas movies and even I think this one looks stupid. Have you seen 'The Holiday'? That's good stuff.
it looks like it would be one of those "good for an airplane ride"
movies
Brad and I went to see that and at one point, he leaned over and said Kate, I might cut myself.
