This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye.

Chevy Chase and his band of SNL men are perhaps my favourite acto... read more

I wasn't interested at first in seeing this film because it just seemed like a waste but a good friend really wanted to watch it so I did. When I did see it, I was blown away by how good it turned out to be. The comedy was often rather silly because of all the mistakes Clark makes.

"UNKNOWN: I have no idea what day I watched this on, I just know I watched it sometime this month. I'm not a fan of crude humor and that seems to be all this movie has, so I was not a big fan of it. However, I think it had some endearing moments, so I rated it a little higher than I normally would have, but I wasn't really impressed."
