Though they fail in their attempts to make money selling Christmas trees on the streets of Brooklyn, they discover much about themselves in the process. (Transmission Films)
Reviews (2)
Just acting orgies without a single hint of story taste.
()
A wannabe Christmas film that aims to take a different path and tries to be less cheerful. For most of the film, we watch two rednecks trying to sell Christmas trees and two criminals each trying to make amends in their own way. Paul Rudd is not annoying this time; instead, it’s Giamatti who manages to draw all the negative attention to himself. Some moments have the potential to be powerful, but in the end, you'll still feel like the film is about nothing. Long live the spirit of Christmas!
