Deeply, painfully, meaningless and irrelevant. Woody's only been in a few movies that were actually difficult for me to get through—most of the bad ones are at least entertaining or hateful enough that it doesn't feel like one thousand eternities pass in the time it takes me to watch them. And if they are that dreadful, at least Woody's presence in them serves to sweeten the deal enough to make the experience bearable. In this case, unfortunately, Woody's appearance is one of the most irrelevant yet, as he plays a role in a movie which the characters go to see, and is on screen for no more than a few seconds.
It's easy to tell what kind of movie this movie was trying to be. But don't we already have enough incompetent dads and precocious daughters filling up our silver screens? And if we wanted more, wouldn't we turn our attention instead to Hallmark Movies and Mysteries so we could at least get a dose of Christmas spirit along the way? In short, this movie is an unnecessary waste of time. Don't watch it (not that the opportunity should ever come up. This movie was pretty tough to find, and I can't imagine anyone not on a quest to see every movie Woody Harrelson's ever been in would have any inducement to watch it, if they even came across it in the first place!)
