Mixed Nuts

Writer-director Nora Ephron hit a low point with this disappointingly dreary comedy set in a suicide clinic on Christmas Eve. The joke is supposed to be that all of the crisis counselors are themselves a pack of lovable losers, led by a badly toupeed Steve Martin. But it's a short step from lovable loser to annoying dweeb and most of the people in this movie cross that line very quickly. It's too bad, because the cast includes Madeline Kahn, Robert Klein, Rob Reiner, Garry Shandling, and Adam Sandler. Somehow, Ephron manages to restrain this lineup from doing anything funny. --Marshall Fine

Beyond Dreadful.......2007-08-12

If I didn't have fast forward, I couldn't have made it through to the end.
They got some big name stars and some that never were to do absolutely nothing for 138 minutes. They made a total fool out of Adam Sandler. Gary Shandling had no purpose whatsoever. Steve Martin could have mailed in his performance. What was Rita Wilson doing? Madeleine Kahn was stuck in an elevator. Robert Klein was walking some dogs. The beautiful Juliette Lewis simulated a pregnant women. The themes were Christmas in L.A. and a suicide prevention clinic. Can you say comedy. Nora Ephron destroyed her writng career here. This "movie" is one big mess. If I paid for it, I would want twice my money back. These people weren't nuts, they were interminably boring.

This a wonderful bit of Christmas humor. Wrapped around all of the possible routine difficulties (eviction, unemployment, pregnancy, gender identification, perversion, legal, use of handguns) in an unlikely setting, it is indeed enjoyable. We first saw this film in the late 90's, and have also acquired a CD of songs from the show. We will watch it again next Christmas!

very funny movie.......2007-01-18

This is a great Steve Martin comedy. You'll laugh all the way through it.

Crazy humor.......2007-01-10

This movie has been a family favorite for years. It just gets funnier every year! You will recognize many stars that were not famous stars yet.
Try to find Jon Stewart, who has a couple cameo spots.

laughs for the holidays!.......2007-01-07

The movie made my sister laugh which I haven't seen for quite awhile. I think it's some of the "quirky" characters in the movie and it's not the typical Christmas movie genre.
