Director: Martha Coolidge
Written by: Jean Abounader, J.B. White
Starring: Steven Weber, Molly Shannon, Patricia Velasquez, Stefanie von Pfetten
A businessman finds himself forced to re-live Christmas Eve over-and-over so that he may mend his selfish ways.
This variation on the Groundhog Day theme is probably the best of these films I watched so far, though that isn't saying a great deal. It's enjoyable enough at the beginning and again towards the end, but the mid-section is tedious and repetitive. Weber makes for a decent lead and Shannon is pleasingly dry (and gets to quote Mies Van Der Rohe, who would have thought it?), but the rest of the cast are left with paper-thin characters.
2/5
