Christmas movie review: Christmas Do Over

Rating: A-

Ah, what to say about Christmas Do Over? This is a Groundhog Day rip-off in which the main character, who is a total ass and is played by Jay Mohr, keeps reliving Christmas Day over and over and over and over again. At first, he takes the opportunity to be even MORE obnoxious and a-holey than he already is. Eventually, he of course becomes a better father and better person and realizes some of his shortcomings. It's predictable but kind of sweet, despite the fact that Jay Mohr is pretty grating. Daphne Zuniga, who I swear hasn't worked since Melrose Place despite what her bio says, plays the ex-wife. Go figure, Jay & Daphne actually have a little bit of chemistry.
