Larry the Cable Guy and Madea are an oddly perfect pairing. They're both comedians in drag - Larry just gets to wear pants

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
The same slapdash, lightweight effort as Madea in any other season, with a few Yuletide flourishes.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Slapdash, with dialogue and plot points that were cliches in Dickens' era, the pic sends up, then reaffirms, all the values the media sell us each holiday: compassion, forgiveness, tolerance.
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
The humor seems sour and perfunctory from the start.
Peter Keough, Boston Globe

You can see, and hear, the clanking of his melodramatic machinery - the gears and pulleys of emotion - but by the time the movie is over, you've been wedged into those gears; they have you.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
