The critics are raving about Surviving Christmas:

“Absolutely awesome in its relentless mediocrity.” — Desson Thomson, WASHINGTON POST

“Hans Blix is still searching for bombs, he should check out Surviving Christmas, a crass, shrill and laughless disaster of a holiday comedy with a desperately mugging Ben Affleck that should be banned under the Geneva Convention” — Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST

“This ghastly comedy emits the subliminal whine of a sucking chest wound.” — Jessica Winter, VILLAGE VOICE

“Destined to offer Ben Affleck bashers satchels full of new ammunition.” — Brian Lowry, VARIETY

“At less that 90 minutes it’s chronologically short, but psychologically eternal.” — Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS

“It’s the sort of stupid swill that gets spewed out by a studio committee, slapped together without a brain, a heart, or a good idea about where to put a camera or when to cut a scene.” — Wesley Morris, BOSTON GLOBRE

“Ben Affleck’s goose is cooked with Surviving Christmas, a movie that makes Gigli look like one of the crowning moments in his career.” — Jami Bernard, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

“From conception to execution, an unalloyed, unqualified, unmitigated disaster.” — Carrie Rickey, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

“A lame comic premise, a tiresome-bordering-on-obnoxious protagonist and a script devoid of humor is a lot to overcome for any movie, and Surviving Christmas is not the one to do it.” — Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“There are no survivors here.” — Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
