Great movie! Not sure why the rating is so low.

I don't know if I just like Vince Vaughn, or what, but I really like this Christmas movie. I think it's funny, and while it's still "OMG someone needs to save Christmas, and only this unlikely hero can do it" it feels at least a little unique to me.

Worst Christmas movie of all time and devoid of any charm. It reminds us that we have escaped the horrid era where Vince Vaughn made comedies
