Surviving Christmas

About This Movie

Surviving Christmas is this odd blend of comedy and romance that takes a quirky look at nostalgia during the holiday season. Ben Affleck plays Drew Latham, a wealthy exec who's basically clueless about relationships. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but that kind of adds to the chaotic charm. You’ve got James Gandolfini, who brings this relatable everyman quality to Tom Valco, and Catherine O'Hara adds a nice touch as his wife. The atmosphere is a mix of awkward situations and heartfelt moments, which gives it a somewhat unique flavor. It’s not your run-of-the-mill Christmas flick, mostly because it doesn’t really adhere to the typical holiday happy endings.
