It fails to provide the sorts of human inter-connections and deep revelations for which director Mitch Davis seems to be striving.

Who knew a movie seemingly meant to spread holiday cheer could be so off-putting in an almost sadistic way?

A Christmas comedy that needs more holiday cheer.

There's simply too much going in such a short running time...

"Christmas Eve" doesn't have much ambition. Or laughs. Or sincerity.

Excellent characters and story. Did not have a sapy ending for all/more than a dozen characters but still very meaningful and joyful.

"Christmas movie"? The only thing Christmas related was the fact it was Christmas Eve. No charm, tacky acting and overacting to try to compensate for the lack of humour. Low budget tragedy.

It’s one of those Christmas movies where it’s actually more mean spirited than joyful. The cast try their best but as a drama it’s melodramatic and as a comedy it’s annoying

This movie is a master of parallels. And it really brings a meaning to "it's a small world". I genuinely don't know why the scores are so bad, this is one of my favorite christmas movies.

Quirky and amusing light entertainment. It didn't have to be set at Christmas as that barely featured in the story.
