Has enough in the way of sentiment and goofy situational predicaments to put it over as a serviceable family holiday attraction.

Top CriticThis silly action comedy mixes brilliant production design -- it looks like a Norman Rockwell painting come to life -- and cloying sentimentality to no good effect.

Even the weather seems tailored to the script's shifting needs.

Top CriticCage looks cold most of the time, and has retractable stubble. The rest of the cast look like they're waiting for summer.

Harmless and totally familiar, it's better than static and informercials, but that's about the sum of it.

Top CriticIn no circumstances, even under threat of torture, admit to anyone that you were suckered into seeing this, one of the worst movies of the year.

Top CriticIt should be preserved by the Library of Congress, as an example of creative desperation. It plays like a documentary about a group of actors forced to perform in a screenplay that contains not one single laugh, or moment of wit, or flash of intelligence.

Top CriticUndoubtedly, this is a movie only a Scrooge could love.
