Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The movie is less ho-ho-ho than uh-oh, or oh-no.
Rotten: As derivative and predictable as any of the holiday comedies of the past few years, providing audiences with at best a handful of laughs. Most of it is uninspired.
Rotten: A complete bust, derivative and uninspired, boring and dull, not funny, not moving and about a half hour too long.
Rotten: The satire on globalism and downsizing is also as old as the Clinton administration, but that doesn't stop director David Dobkin from selling it like fresh goods.
