If this movie is an attempt at a Hallmark Christmas satire or spoof, it fails miserably. Actual Hallmark movies are far more ridiculous and sincere and that's what makes them somewhat charming and, often, stupidly hilarious. It seems like it might have been an attempt at a Hallmark movie, and then Vince Vaughn injected his "humor" into the script with absolutely awkward scenes between Julia Duffy and George Wendt, a bizarre vocal affectation by Justin Long, lazy sexual innuendo, moments of tonal whiplash and a weird fart sound effect thrown in to a scene that still baffles me. Fa la la la Farrelly brothers this is not.
