Surviving ChristmasSurviving Christmas is a 2004 comedy film, directed by Mike Mitchell, and stars Ben Affleck. Despite being a Christmas movie, Dreamworks SKG released the movie towards the end of October. This was due to it being advanced from December 2003 to avoid clashing with Affleck's other film, Paycheck. Surviving Christmas fared poorly at the box office and was listed among the 10 worst films of 2004 by everyone from Entertainment Weekly to People magazine. Plot Drew Latham is a wealthy record executive, driven by money, and as a result lives a shallow, pointless life. After being dumped by his girlfriend he faces the prospect of another Christmas alone, so he decides to visit his childhood home to rekindle his old holiday memories. Once there, he discovers that the house is now lived in by another family, the Valcos. Not to be deterred, Latham offers them $250,000 to spend Christmas with them, and pretend to be a member of their family. They accept, and have to put up with his annoying insistence to do traditional things like the Christmas shopping. After a while Latham starts to care about the Valcos, and attempts to repair their marriage. He also develops an attraction for his 'sister'. Tagline: Share the warmth Cast See also External links
