With everything going on, it’s suitably titled for this year’s Christmas (even though it’s from 2004). Too bad Ben Affleck isn’t a better actor and Christina Applegate couldn’t ‘carry’ him.
It’s interesting how movies that are released can reflect the times. Surviving Christmas was released back in 2004, so a guy flinging around money was an okay premise for a movie (as okay as it would ever be).
I think Hollywood movie writers would have to be idiots or have really big balls to pull something like that for this Christmas.
The sad thing is that I don’t even have to watch the movie – just looking at the previews I can tell you exactly what happens…
