This was actually a pretty funny, cute little flick. I'll be getting it to watch on christmas day.

Actually I think that record goes to From Justin To Kelly. It hit DVD around 6 weeks after the theater and bargain bins a few months after that. ;)

The dvd of the first season of "The Simple Life" came out a day before the season of the show aired on television.

I think -1 day is the record right now. ;)

jough- No it didn't. It came out after the show had aired it's finale. Unless you are in a country other than the U.S.

in any case, I'll add it to my yearly christmas viewing..

The critics do have a sense of humor, they're just sick (like most of us) of the same gags and lame jokes used in every contrived attempt at a movie.

The Friends season finale also came out the Tuesday following its Thursday premier. That's much shorter than two months.

Affleck's movies are taking less and less time to be released on DVD, can straight-to-video be next?

From Justin to Kelly debuted at theaters 6/22/03 and was released on DVD 8/26/03, slightly more than 2 months. Surviving Christmas debuted at theaters 10/24/04 and is set for DVD 12/21/04, slightly less than 2 months and likely a record.

Other fast ones: Hellboy 4/4/04 and 7/27/04, Gigli 8/3/03 and 12/9/03, Paycheck 12/28/03 and 5/18/04, Matrix Revolutions 11/9/03 and 4/6/04.

If I owned the movie, I would put it out on the same date. Why would I want to wait until April after the Christmas "Spirit" is gone.

I will be renting this movie.

I rented it and really liked it. I thought the previews were funny though, so go figure.

If you hate Affleck, then don't see it. Tony Soprano, C. O'Hara & Christina Applegate are all quite funny in this. The script drags a little at times, but there's still some good dark comedy in there.

Affleck is funniest when he's truly being a maniac, he's running around like he's on speed. O'Hara is the best thing about this film though. She has all the best lines, and delivers them with her usual dry wit.

I won't trash Christmas Kranks, but I would much rather see this than Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis in anything.

Surviving Chirstmas is a solid rental, and a different kind of Christmas comedy.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:59 AM.
