Jess Cagle's Best And Worst Of 2007 Jan 1, 2008
"I'm sure there was some schlocky horror movie I didn't see that was worse than this, but it couldn't get much worse. There were great expectations, but it was a flop. Instead of being a funny Christmas movie, there was a lot of family psychobabble, Fred went to a support group where there was a Baldwin brother and Sly Stalone's brother. It wasn't lighthearted or funny. And there was a great cast - Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti, Kevin Spacey, Kathy Bates. It looked great on paper but just didn't... (CBS News)
