So-so Christmas comedy. A divorced man (Mohr) finds himself repeating Christmas Day, each time trying to change the outcome. With an almost identical plot to the successful “Groundhog Day” with Bill Murray, the premise for this story had potential. Unfortunately, this film didn’t have the charm to pull it off. Performances were Ok, but Jay Mohr was really over-the-top obnoxious which only succeeds in making you vote for the other guy! In fact, few of the characters were very likable which made it hard to care about the outcome. The filming was Ok, but the Christmas Day repeats start to get annoying. You feel as if the story is trying to pound its point across rather than letting the emotions evolve naturally. Definitely better choices available. **
