Entertainment Reviews:
Director/co-scripter Nora Ephron pitches the humor at a cacophonous level and displays the comedic equivalent of two left feet in evolving an absurdist, slapstick yarn.

Even fans of Nora Ephron knew well enough to stay home and roast chestnuts on an open fire instead.

Rating: 2/5 --
The beginning of Steve Martin's non-funny comedies. Ephron should know better as well.

Empire Magazine
Martin's comedic talents show no signs of life in this truly abysmal adaptation of a superior French farce...

Ephron's timing and sensitivity have deserted her, leaving behind only the sentimentality.

Time Out
Even for a Christmas comedy, it's blasphemous -- delightfully so.

A relentlessly hectic, poorly structured farce that falls embarrassingly flat.

Product Description:
It's Christmas Eve at Lifelines, a Venice Beach suicide hotline. Philip (Steve Martin), the manager, has just been informed by the landlord that the they are being evicted and suddenly business around the office seems as crazy as the callers who are clogging the lines! Over one night, the offbeat characters around the office and in the neighborhood--from timid Catherine (Rita Wilson), to rapping Mrs. Munchnik (Madeline Kahn), to pregnant Grace (Juliette Lewis), to cross-dressing Chris (Liev Schrieber)--will all learn that Christmas can be a happy time regardless of your mental state. Director Nora Ephron (SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE) co-scripted this quirky holiday comedy with sister Delia.
