Arrogance gives way to humility, making this an appropriate, if thoroughly cliched, Christmas morality tale that's sugar-coated with an attractive cast spouting sitcom-quality dialogue.
Lael Loewenstein, Variety
Rotten
None of the cast comes off well, but they have little to work with, since the dialogue sounds like it was made up on the spot and performed without rehearsal.
Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle
Rotten
A Christmas turkey.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten
Adequate in every way and oddly subversive in spots, but that's about it.
