Go and Enjoy!

Who knew that it would take the writer of SWINGERS to direct the latest Christmas classic?
At the top of this, I would like to thank Jon Favreau for pointing out that Bob Newhart will never go out of style.
Mr. Favreau brings a breezy swirling-cocktail style to this project. The homages to the classic Christmas tv of the 60's and the sight of Will Farrell in yellow tights makes for one of the best Christmas movies since George C. Scott assumed the role of Ebenezer Scrooge. No one but Mr. Farrell could have pulled this off, and no director could have made the movie seem hip, other than Mr. Favreau.
And, to boot, it has one of the best and most exciting "Santa and the reindeer" scenes ever put on film.
