Nice effects though.
Excellent adaptation.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
I usually don't like the average Christmas TV movie fare, but this one I managed to sit through to the end.The script, characterisation and acting was good, and I liked the ludicrous comic characters. Many comedies are just too serious.About three quarters of the way through I feel it lost its way: the whole "girl who needs a heart transplant" sub-plot is just too hackneyed and sentimental, and Jolie runs around giving no indication that she is at all ill.I didn't find the ending at all satisfying, they just seemed to want to wrap it up as soon as possible.
