First holiday film of the season! Kind of. It's more of a family drama about a dying man who walked out on his wife and (7?) kids 20 years earlier, and has decided that he wants to spend his last xmas with them, and whether or not they'll take him back. I like Ed Burns. I like what he stands for, I like how he works. This film, however, doesn't work all that well. First, it's just a bit flat. The actors are all fine, but it just lacks some kind of thematic cohesion, instead it feels like a bunch of loose stories smashed together. To be honest I don't really have a strong opinion about this one way or the other. The kind of film you might want to check out on a day when you're trapped in from a blizzard.
