Do not let the box art fool you. A large picture of Steve Martin in a tux topped by a Santa hat might tempt you to rent this supposed madcap farce for some light-hearted holiday viewing. I implore you to resist. Despite writer/director Nora Ephron's attempt to recreate her SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE success, with an incredible cast ¾ Martin, Madeline Kahn, Rita Wilson, Garry Shandling, Adam Sandler- and a memorable soundtrack filled with hip versions of holiday favorites, this is a pathetic, depressing movie. A group of LA misfits man a suicide hot line, amidst tired slapstick routines that will make you wince; "Say hi to your dead husband's sister for me." When two people actually die (and it's supposed to be funny) you know this movie is all wrong, a waste of talent.
