Review of Surviving Christmas (2004) by Luke B — 09 Dec 2009

Started shooting without a completed script and it shows. Surviving Christmas has it's heart in the right place, but slips on every ice covered step. It's about capturing the magic of Christmas that only the young can feel.

Unfortunately it devolves into your regular comedy with misunderstandings and "hilarious" consequences. Gandolfini makes the best of a bad situation, and there are moments when sparks fly. In it's defense, it isn't a difficult film to get through.

Just not a great one.
