Read MoreOur family, with two young teens, enjoyed Christmas Do-Over. The acting is fair for the genre, the humor is tense and steady, the scenery is festive, and the story is engaging, although, it is an obvious spinoff of Groundhog Day (1993). Jay Mohr often plays self-assured, virtueless, loudmouths. Voila! He's perfect for this role as Kevin. My wife and I appreciate dysfunctional family movies (The Ref, Home For The Holidays) so we got a kick out of the interactions Kevin has with his in-laws as congeniality degrades over time. At first Kevin is only there for his son whose pure-hearted wish catalyzed the miracle that transfixed Kevin into having to endure endless days of Christmess with himself and his mistakes. Kevin eventually gets righteous evolving back toward his ex-wife but first he gets much worse. The brawl with a Santa and a nativity Joseph, who operate exhibits that aggressively compete with Kevin's father-in-law's at the county fair, was FUNNY NY-NY NY-NY!!!

Very dull, too repetitive, even the kids who watch the same film over and over hated it! WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I watched the first 30 minutes of this movie then became bored and did other things while it played in the background.
I thought the way Jay Mohr treated his son was disgusting. Then his bad behavior replayed over and over. The fight that broke out at the Christmas Fair involving "Jesus" and Santa was especially in bad taste. Yuck. Don't waste your time or money. Sorry Jay! WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreI was wanting a Christmas movie to share with the family. The kids quit watching after ten minutes because it was so boring. Those of us who did sit through it couldn't wait for this movie to be over. The main character is tortured by having to do Christmas day over and over and over and over. The viewer feels equally tortured. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

This is one of the sadest attempts at a story told a hundred times over. I could have done a better job adlibing this story. Waste of money and time. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I kept waiting for Bill Murrey to come out somewhere, it was like watching groundhog day in slow motion. Some funny parts, for sure this is not a best on my list! WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreRip-off of Groundhog Day!! Only worse. Too repetitive. Only so many ways you can attempt to repeat the "bad day" and still be amusing. After the third do-over (out of maybe 15 do-over's --- I lost count), everything was so predictable. Only kept watching to see who or how someone was going to get beamed by the ball at the start. The only do-over that wasn't attempted was the one where he pulls up to the house, goes over to where the kids are kicking the ball around, pulls out a switchblade and stabs the ball so he doesn't get beamed with it later.
