What a disappointing black comedy this is. I think Billy Bob can be hilarious when he wants to be (check out his performance in "Bandits"), and thought the movie would be a stab at the ridiculous commercialization of Christmas. It crosses the line from black comedy to downright offensive a number of times, especially in its treatment of Christian symbols. With all of the uproar about The Passion of the Christ, no one seemed to mind that Miramax put this movie out, which trashes Christian ideals and symbols during their most sacred of times. Now I'm not a religious fanatic by any means, and love a good black comedy (I was one of the few, it seems, who really liked Death to Smoochy). But this movie didn't make me crack a smile once. Billy Bob's foul mood and constant vulgarity got old after five minutes. One of the worst movies I've seen in years.
