Product Description

Denis Leary plays an unfortunate cat burglar, who is abandonded by his partner in the middle of a heist and is forced to take an irritating Connecticut couple (Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis) hostage. He soon finds that he got more than he bargained for when the couple's blackmailing son and despicable in-laws step into the picture. Before long they're driving him nuts with their petty bickering and family problems. The only way for him to survive is to be their referee and resolve their differences before he can be nabbed by the police.

A different vibes Christmas movie that I watch every year. It's funny, well acted and fantastically casted. None of the scenes linger and the movie runs smoothly.
Revolved around the personal woes of an upper middle class suburbanites' marriage crisis, being taken hostage and perhaps worst of all- inlaws

Love to watch it every year for Christmas. A little dark for Christmastime, and not really something to let younger kids watch, it is entertaining, and always good for a chuckle!

I absolutely love this Christmas movie. Christmas was / is difficult this year and this movie gave me laughs and tears and belief in kindness and understanding. We all have a story and deal with pain differently. We should take time to listen and give someone a hug. Great feel good movie full of laughter. I recommend watching it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Films don't have to be sweet to have the Christmas spirit!

This is a great film. Fantastic humour, with every line perfectly delivered. Judy Davis and Kevin Spacey work so well together and you feel every biting comment and it makes you laugh. Denis Leary is simply brilliant, playing the referee to the warring spouses while hiding out in their house to evade the police. An alternative take on the Christmas movies, but definitely sprinkled with lots of the Christmas spirit.
