"Couldn't get the licensing for the movie and Amazon never contacted me back so I wouldn't recommend downloading it unless you want to look at an empty screen....."
"This movie is aimed straight at the junior high and under crowd even though it's rated R.
My roommate and I sat through the whole movie without a single laugh. The 'jokes' are undescribably lame. If someone says the word sex and you start giggling and looking around nervously then you might find this funny.
Aside from the lack of any humor, there is also the fact that they are just showing random clips of penguins 95% of the time. They could have made this an audio cd without hurting the movie, and in fact it would have made it better because if you imagine penguins talking and having personalities there mouths would move and they wouldn't just be stock footage clips of penguins standing around.
Don't waste 80 minutes of your life on this."
"This is a movie that I quite enjoy. That said, the DVD version I just purchased is the absolute pits. It looks as though it were shot on a home video camera, and the ambience of the film is totally altered. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because the movie is good enough to keep even the worst DVD authoring to merit a one-star. Watch this if you see it on TV, or maybe even buy the tape. The DVD, however, is something you want to steer clear of."
"I've seen both versions and they are both pretty funny. The french version however, will most likely not appeal to an American taste. It is subtitled of course, but also strangely gory and a little Monty-Pythonish. The American version of Just Visiting has excellent special effects and humor, and Jean Reno is PRICELESS as the French nobleman. The humor is quirky and may not be for everyone, so I suggest rent. Don't miss, gauranteed for a few belly laughs."
"'Surviving Christmas' represents yet another entry in the Ben Affleck Bad Film Festival. Not even the Grinch could endure this offensive, unfunny holiday farce. Once again, Affleck desecrates the art of screen acting with a painfully wretched performance. James Gandolfini, on the other hand, deserves higher-quality material during his 'Sopranos' hiatus. DreamWorks knew they had a straight-to-video turkey, but tried to foist the damaged goods upon suspicious moviegoers. They needn't have bothered."
