i have some reservation about this movie and i figure it would be the usual bill of fare a formula movie about christmas . be in the middle of a heat wave in late june and we decide to give it a shot anyway and maybe we would see some snow . this movie turn out to be one laugh after another . ben affleck be believable in his character and but the real star of this one be james gandofini . he deliver his line with a real wit about him and make a great dad . if you want to have an enjoyable couple of hour and definitely check this one out .
