The Real Review

People aren't buying what the Kringles are selling. The premise of a family moving next to neighbors who celebrate Christmas year-round mostly gets slammed as unoriginal and painfully unfunny. A few performers, like Arden Myrin's Carol Kringle and Rob Riggle's Drunk Santa, get some laughs, but they're not enough to save it. The consensus is director Kevin Lewis fumbled this one, with Ron Livingston's Mark and Rachel Bilson's Julie getting lost in a story that never finds its footing.
