Entertainment Reviews:
Is there anything more excruciating than failed farce?
Full Review
Washington Post
Director/co-scripter Nora Ephron pitches the humor at a cacophonous level and displays the comedic equivalent of two left feet in evolving an absurdist, slapstick yarn.

Variety
Rating: 1.5/4 --
Every character shines with such dazzling intensity and such inexhaustible comic invention that the movie becomes tiresome, like too many clowns.

Chicago Sun-Times
Martin's comedic talents show no signs of life in this truly abysmal adaptation of a superior French farce...

A dreadful, dreary would-be dark comedy.
Fantastica Daily

Even fans of Nora Ephron knew well enough to stay home and roast chestnuts on an open fire instead.

Product Description:
It's Christmas Eve at Lifelines, a Venice Beach suicide hotline. Philip (Steve Martin), the manager, has just been informed by the landlord that the they are being evicted and suddenly business around the office seems as crazy as the callers who are clogging the lines! Over one night, the offbeat characters around the office and in the neighborhood--from timid Catherine (Rita Wilson), to rapping Mrs. Munchnik (Madeline Kahn), to pregnant Grace (Juliette Lewis), to cross-dressing Chris (Liev Schrieber)--will all learn that Christmas can be a happy time regardless of your mental state. Director Nora Ephron (SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE) co-scripted this quirky holiday comedy with sister Delia.
