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 pseudo Christmas movie that wants to take a slightly different path and tries to be less joyful. Throughout most of the film, we follow two buffoons trying to sell Christmas trees, two criminals each attempting to make things right in their own way. Paul Rudd is not annoying once again, this time it's Giamatti who manages to draw all the negative attention to himself. There are moments here that tend to become powerful, but in the end, you will still feel like the movie is about nothing. Long live the magic of Christmas!
