Every year the DVD will [be] displayed as though it's worthy of renting. But it's out because it takes place around the holidays, not because it belongs to be there.

It will no doubt appeal to eight-year-olds, but anyone older than that can pretty much be prepared to get to know their watchface very well.

With all the realism of a muppet, the snowman tries to deliver the line, 'I love you.' PLEASE!

No story, not enough humor, a silly setup, and a guy in the snowman suit who looks like he didn't make the first cut at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

Its sentiment is rote, its truths are culled from a trip down the aisles of a greeting-card shop.
