We open with some close ups of a creche. This gives you some idea of what's to come if you've read that this movie is about small time crooks trying to make the big score. You'll see booty moves in a strip joint you'd never believe possible (I forget if this was done to a Christmas carol or not). You'll see a lot of vomiting and hear a lot of vulgarity. You'll get a few laughs from a couple of lines of funny dialogue, and you'll come out of the movie feeling scummy, slimy, and rank. Deck the Halls! I gave this piece of "film" a 5 due to the terrific acting of Billy Bob Thornton, John Cusak, and a sadly funny Oliver Platt. The rest of the film rated a very generous "0".
But, and, as I always say, because we all come from different backgrounds and have different attitudes toward life and its trappings -- please see the movie to make up your own mind. It you're going to hate this movie, hate it because you've seen it and hate it for yourself. If you're going to enjoy this movie and find some intrinsic value in it - go see it for yourself and find that value.
Happy Holiday Season to All!!!
