Very few laughs, unfortunately. Broderick looked uncomfortable, and DeVito did his usual shtick. His teenage girls were awful! Most of the females were portrayed as bimbos.
Despite being a Christmas film, the Christmas spirit is barely anywhere to be found (despite the usual 'Christmas isn't about materialism' message being shoehorned in at the end) and there are several oddly crude moments that jar with the tone of the rest of the film (can anybody say 'Santa babies'?). It doesn't work on any level, really.
