  Not that great
  
  There is no plot or real narrative. The film objectifies Pete and not in a good way. He is unlikeable and uncharismatic. The film drags on....boring.

  Enjoy? Pass the strychnine
  
  Absolutely abysmal. Not sexy, not funny, not even interesting. Sad people in the worst Christmas ever.
