This is the BEST holiday movie ever!!!!
It has a plot, it has romance, it has comedy and the cast is stellar! Madeline and a transvestite Liev are exceptional characters. It is great to see a mid-1990s film with so many fun moments!

An oddball comedy about a group of lonely misfits coming together on Christmas Eve that tries just about every style of humor there is.

I like how it acknowledges how depressing the holiday season can be for those who are alone, broke, or just all around down on their luck without sacrificing the kind of hope and magic that can only be found during this time of the year.

The jokes are going to be too scattershot for some with gags ranging from slapstick to accidental murder, but I couldn't stop laughing. It's charming in that way only quirky mid-'90s comedies can be. There are tons of lines I'll be quoting years from now. Most of which come from Adam Sandler in an early role.

I don't know why a man dressed in a candy cane costume sleeping on a public bench is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, but it is.

This is isn't going to be to everyone's tastes, but I totally love it. I will admit though that not all of the material hits its mark. Characters do weird things like constantly bring up a serial killer in a way that has no bearing on anything else going on the movie until the moment where out of nowhere it does. A lot of the side-characters feel like glorified cameos and Steve Martin's performance is kind of odd. Yet it made me laugh and I could easily see myself revisiting it in the future. Honestly, it might be one of my new favorite Christmas movies.

Solidly one of the worst films I've ever watched. I had to switch it off when one of the main characters reclaiming a gun from an abusive partner declared it needed to be emptied for gun safety then proceeds to fire it randomly, literallySolidly one of the worst films I've ever watched. I had to switch it off when one of the main characters reclaiming a gun from an abusive partner declared it needed to be emptied for gun safety then proceeds to fire it randomly, literally with her eyes closed. Unsurprisingly she shoots someone but no one seems to care! Expand
