Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times It's a dark comedy that begins with the creepy underside of Christmas, and branches out into the creepy underside of just about everything else. It's one of those films where you think it's only a dream, and then when everyone wakes up, it's worse. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Entertainment Weekly Rated: C- Jun 1, 1995 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com In this disappointing collaboration between Craig and Norman (Longtime Companion), Mia Farrow plays yet another mousy and abused housewife.

Audience Member I loved this movie. Perhaps the detractors had trouble with the surrealism. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/20 Full Review Audience Member If you can't see that is meant to be allergory to American coniscience you're blind.. your money or your wife, closing your eyes and finding your life ... So much more .. If you want to take it litterally... then pass.. if you want to be challanged then watch .. its as simple as that .. This movie was like hold a mirror to my soul ... I loved every second... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review william s Works on zero levels. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This oddly off-kilter adaptation works on no level. That being said, it does deserve some sort of credit for being the oddest Christmas movie I've ever seen. ...And, that includes several disgusting horror movies. So jaw-droppingly bad that I almost want to give it two stars, but that would be unfair and untrue. Watch at your own caution. As Mia Farrow's character whines to Tony Goldwyn's - "That is soooo mean!" Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member huyendo de la muerte se encuentra con muchas situaciones inverosímiles Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Horribly underrated, this gem brings viewers a wonderfully twisted dark comedy. A bit too odd for many to fully enjoy I suppose but Farrow's performance is great and some of the finer moments, although potentially distubing, are amazing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
