Summary: A Great Feel-Good Comedy (That Makes EVERYONE Feel Normal !
Review: This is a great old comedy!It's too good to watch just at Christmas. The late Madeline Kahn is great as the frumpy old Mrs Munchnik,and is very funny in the elevator with the music machine (Help me quick or hit me in the face!) Liev Schreiber is also good as a transvestite with a penchant for the ukelele and Adam Sandler (Now does that boy know what he is getting into?) Rita Wilson is funny in her phone call from the pervert-leaping around with her hands over her ears,and the endless bath tub self-pep talks. Juliette Lewis is lovely as the very agro and very pregnant woman with one big problem-she can't afford to give birth in a hospital. A very wacky and very black comedy. And Mrs Munchnik still knows what REALLY goes on between that old man and his dogs!

Summary: Poor remake
Review: This is a lousy remake of a very fanous French movie. Do not waste your time with this but instead get the original movie: Le Pere Noel est une Ordure. You will have real fun

Summary: Nothing gets me more in the XMas Spirit than this movie !!
Review: This is my favorite Holiday movie. From the first time I saw this dark comedy six years ago, I have enjoyed it year after year. Nora Ephron did a wonderful job taking something as tragic as a Suicide Hotline on Christmas Eve and turning it into something funny. Of course the subject of suicide itself is far from funny, and if you cant get past that, then you probably wont like this movie (although the movie doesnt dwell on that subject too much). But this film keeps it light with lots of subplots, an outrageous cast including Steve Martin, Madeline Khan (who is hysterically convincing as the uptight Mrs. Munchnick), Adam Sandler, Rita Wilson (in her best performance to date), Tony LaPaglia, Liev Schreiber (very funny in drag), and others. The music is very upbeat, the plot is fast-paced and there is a great blend of subtle humor (Khan insisting on increasing the suicide tote board by one number arguing that "even though the person calling did not seem suicidal 'he or she may have become suicidal had they not called the hotline'") and in-your-face humor (Martin dancing (against his will) with Schreiber-in-drag and ensuring that he keeps his body as far away from Schreibers as possible, that is, until he, Martin, realizes that he is actually enjoying himself). The other great thing about this movie is that it can actually make the normal holiday blues seem not nearly as bad when you compare them to some of the problems that these characters encounter ........ and still they're able to find the true meaning of the holiday and have a happy Christmas. Needless to say, I highly recommend this film. Dave

Summary: I was hoping for better, but it's not the worst...
Review: This movie had its moments, however the pace was never really set. In comedy, timing is everything. I think Madeline Khan was fantastic (as always), but the real surprise was Liev Schreiber in drag. He was so cute and how that big man can move so easily in heels is beyond me. He and Steve Martin dancing is the best part of the movie. If you are into off-beat comedys, this one is for you.

Summary: The definition of ensemble cast
Review: This movie is the very definition of ensemble cast. It's the ultimate holiday entertainment for anyone who enjoys off-beat humor and a plot line that doesn't even try to reflect anyone's actual life. Mixed Nuts is video Christmas candy. What doesn't make sense is that so may critics have panned it. I'd guess that's because, like holiday candy, this movie isn't good for you in any possible way. It makes fun of EVERYBODY! But it's an indulgent treat that I can't wait to get into every Christmas. In fact, it's so much fun I sneek it out several times a year like a favorite junk-food binge. Madelene Kahn is at her very best and to see Mr Macho, Liev Schriber in drag is just too funny for words! The only thing that could make this DVD better is if it came packaged with a box of Christmas fudge.

Summary: The next "It's a Wonderful Life"
Review: Twenty years from now, this movie will be as much a holiday classic as Caprs's "It's a Wonderful Life". This screwball comedy, set in Santa Monica at Christmas features some of the brightest comedians of their time. Madeline Kahn is outrageuos as usual and Steve Martin and Rita Wilson make a perfect couple. The soundtrack is supperb. This movie will become a holiday must. It already is at my house.

Summary: Don't overlook this charming comedy
Review: Waivered between 4&5 stars because the ending strayed from what was an otherwise very funny movie. Not much on plot but in this case that's just fine. 3 people (Steve Martin, Madeline Kahn, Rita Wilson) working at a non profit suicide prevention center. When on Christmas Eve they all find out there going to be evicted and jobless unless they can come up with $5000 in back rent. Figuring out how to get the money and dealing with all the Goofballs they encounter on the job (themselves included) seems impossible. As they struggle through a seemingly endless day of one mishap after another. 95 percent of this movie is very Lighthearted Sillyness, very funny stuff. This movie doesn't take itself seriously in Any Way and that's it's charm. Some people refer to *Black Humor* when reviewing this movie, i suppose it has its share but it didn't stand out to me as the theme of the movie. If you want to see a truly Funny and warm movie, this is it! It's the Christmas movie of the 90's.
