Synopsis


Several Los Angeles residents meet on Christmas Eve through chance, tragedy, loss and divine intervention.


Velvet Larry is the head of a corporate crime organization. He owns a sleazy strip club where Rose-Johnny, a single mother whose young son is in a coma, dances.

Reception


According to Variety magazine, "the heartstring-pulling contrivances of the film, set during Christmastime, go way over the top... Biel often overacts even more than her role requires."[4] The magazine calls director Bui's "trumpeting of the power of love in the city of lonely hearts ... both ear-splittingly loud and tone-deaf at the same time" with "Jonathan Sela's color palette of nightmarish reds and blues and blinding whites, simply enforc[ing] the pic's borderline hysteria."


Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 25% rating from eight critic reviews with an average rating of 3.7 out of 10."[5]
