CGiii Comment

A flop...

Steve Martin, Christmas, a serial killer, a transvestite = mindless suicidal crap.

Ephron's career is bizarre - pretty good at the rom-com - but for sheer comedy, it's just not her bag - as this clearly demonstrates.

The(ir) Blurb...

Philip runs a crisis hotline with Catherine and Mrs Munchnik. That's the easy part, now it gets tricky... Stanley loves evicting people and he evicts Philip. Philip loves helping people and he is loved by Catherine. Catherine is loved by Louie who loves writing songs. Chris loves dancing to songs and loves to wear large dresses. Gracie also loves to wear large dresses because she's pregnant. She loves the baby's father, Felix, who loves to paint. That just leaves Mrs. Munchnik who hasn't been loved by anybody in a very long time.
