...but I'll give it a try.
This was just a terrible movie. The idea sounded good (a guy can't go home for Christmas, so he barges in on an unsuspecting family for the holidays), but on the screen it was just stupid.
I don't consider Ben Affleck to the best actor in the world, but I do know he has some acting ability. So where was it? His character was just too unbelievable. Much like the Valco family, I wanted to shoot him. Also, I don't think he ever gave us the lowdown on his own family. Who were they? Where did they live? And most importantly, why wasn't he bothering them this year?
I also couldn't understand why Ben was so happy all the time, especially when things were going so bad. Or why the dad always seemed to be in a bad mood (although I think Ben contributed the most to that).
In short, if you're looking for holiday cheer this year, look elsewhere.
