Review of Surviving Christmas (2004) by Kj P — 09 Nov 2011
"Surviving Christmas" is not the most festive or creative in it's genre, but the good-hearted mixture of being with your family on christmas and how money can't buy happiness is portrayed, it great.
It definitely does not reach any new heights in holiday cinema, but it is funny, witty, heart-warming, and fun. I did scratch my head a few times at the cliches and over-the-top dramatic sequences, but overall, I think this is a fun family christmas movie that the entire family can enjoy.
The reason I enjoy watching this film, is because it teaches everyone that being with your family on christmas is the most important thing, even if not in the way it is expected. Ben Affleck, along with the rest of the cast, is not powerful in any way, they are in fact quite cheesy, but the meaning compensates for that.
"Surviving Christmas" is pure holiday fun, but that is all!
