I was told that this was a very funny movie which I can not agree with. This movie was not so funny (IMHO) but more of a modern interpretation of a classic Christmas tale. I enjoyed it but probably wont recall it years from now which should indicate that the movie itself failed to be a classic. Anyway you spin, it was a good use of time.

Lacking the magic of the season, Surviving Christmas is a shallow and uninspired film. Ben Affleck plays an eccentric millionaire ad executive who makes a deal with the family living at his childhood home to let him stay there and to help him live out his fantasy of an old fashion family Christmas. Affleck gives a phoned in performance, but co-star Christina Applegate really shines. Also, the humor is rather hit and miss; as a lot of it is in bad taste and inappropriate for a family comedy. There are a few moments of fun in Surviving Christmas, but there’s no heart.
