The Perfect Holiday Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Whitney Pastorek
[Queen Latifah and Terrence Howard] may be a draw, but it's too bad no one thought the endearing performances in this charming (if clich) family romance would be enough.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
The Perfect Holiday, as many a holiday movie before it, meticulously goes through the motions, but never quite finds the magic of the season.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
The Perfect Holiday makes the safest, blandest choices possible in delivering some Christmas cheer for the whole family.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
Despite the flabby direction and uninspired plot, The Perfect Holiday almost works because Chestnut and Union are an attractive couple and you want them to get together.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Jovial and junky as all get out, The Perfect Holiday is about what you'd expect from a holiday comedy daring to put 'perfect' in its title. As in anything but.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The Perfect Holiday, directed by Lance Rivera, is that most dispiriting product, a formulaic movie that doesn't believe in itself.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Dear Santa: Please leave better scripts under her Christmas tree.
Detroit News
Mekeisha Madden Toby
The sparks that [Union and Chestnut] ignite onscreen cannot save the disjointed mess of a film that is The Perfect Holiday.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
There's not much original about the film, but it's played with high spirits and good cheer, there are lots of musical interludes, and it's pitched straight at families.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
It's a shame that Gabrielle Union can't get better scripts than this one.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Queen Latifah and Terrence Howard act as commentators, nudging the contrivances this way and that.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
For fans of lousy seasonal cheer, Dec. 25 comes early.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The cold void of January can't come fast enough if it means an end to releases like The Perfect Holiday.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
This sugarplum of a movie is held together with good intentions and paperclips, but its appealing cast and seasonal sweetness make it -- if not the perfect holiday treat, a pleasantly enjoyable one.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Bad Santa! No cookie!
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
I'd rather watch 90 minutes of a flickering yule log video than sit through this overcooked Christmas goose again.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
[A] wretched yuletide comedy.
Boxoffice Magazine
Amy Nicholson
If tickets to this yuletide dreck are hiding in your stocking, you'd be better off with a lump of coal.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
[The script] hasn't been written as much as stamped out like so many cheap Christmas knickknacks that will be on the clearance shelf come Dec. 26.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
The Perfect Holiday is so modest and good-natured that its flaws are hardly glaring.
