Description: It's Christmas Eve and Gus, a cat burglar making the final heist of his career, trips the alarm system in a suburban home, forcing him to take the occupants hostage. Little does he know his Christmas is the one that's going to be ruined as he finds himself caught between a relentlessly bickering husband and wife and their fully dysfunctional family. As Gus soon discovers, there is no cure for rancor. Reviews Chicago Sun-Times 03/11/1994 "...[Leary] creates an entertaining character. And Davis and Spacey, both naturally verbal, develop a manic counterpoint in their arguments that elevates them to a sort of art form..."Los Angeles Times 03/09/1994 "...Enthusiastically mean-spirited....It has as much fun being malicious as Snow White did being squeaky clean..."Entertainment Weekly 08/05/1994 "...The sharpest dialogue heard in a Hollywood flick since the heyday of Hecht and MacArthur....The performances are uniformly excellent..." --
Rating: A-New York Times 03/09/1994 "...Gleeful irreverence, dark wit and cynicism....[Leary] is unexpectedly terrific....A grown-up film..."Premiere 09/01/1994 "...Hallelujah!..." - Recommended Synopsis Gus is a pretty clever cat burglar, but he's having a really bad Christmas Eve. He just stole precious gems from a wealthy amusement park owner. But his plan to escape has gone awry. So he ducks into Lloyd and Caroline's house only to find himself caught in the middle of a marriage from hell. Lloyd and Caroline are possibly the most dysfunctional pair in the world. To make matters worse, the unhappy twosome are expecting their in-laws for dinner. Once the guests arrive, Gus -- who has already taken their son hostage -- makes Lloyd and Caroline agree to pretend he's their marriage counselor.
