(1 - 9) of 9 OFCS Rating: 22% Rotten Page   1   D+ "Perfect Holiday is far from an offensive effort. It's just pathetic and forgettable, and when it comes to Christmas cheer, mediocrity should never be left under the tree."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf 0.5/4 "About as appetizing as a candy cane laced with arsenic."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 1.5/4 "Stay for the nail-biting conclusion, but only if you can stomach the horror of Queen Latifah and Terrence Howard reaching career lows as manifestations of all that is cheerful and insufferable, respectively, about the holidays."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez D+ "Wants to be a Christmas perennial, but it wilts badly well before the final credits roll."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/10 "Belying its title, the film does little to inspire good cheer toward its various imperfections. Maybe I should find Santa and ask for better films. You'll certainly wish I had if you're unfortunate enough to sit through this 'gift.'"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 1.5/4 "Mixes rehashed inspirational-film cliches and urban humor, to no good effect."   Time Out New York   Maitland McDonagh "Picking the single dumbest element in this extremely dumb movie is easy."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson B- "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."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow "The Perfect Holiday is so modest and good-natured that its flaws are hardly glaring."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek  (1 - 9) of 9 OFCS Rating: 22% Rotten Page   1
