This film is mediocre to the extreme.
It could, if you can overlook the glaring plot holes, be something good to watch on Christmas Eve if there is nothing else on and you have had a few drinks.
It's not the worst movie ever made, but it is clichéd, predictable and not very funny.
Three out of ten- and that might be a case of me being over generous because it's, as I write this, December 12th.
What is also frustrating is that there's a nucleus of a good idea in the script- albeit one that has been done before. If the script had been redrafted a few more times, and if some of the Disney schmaltz had been remove then the film might have landed, somewhere, on the better side of OK.
Jessica Biel isn't bad though.
