Wissenswertes
Liev Schreiber's theatrical film debut. His first credited role was in Inspektor Janek und der Broadwaymörder (1994), which premiered on television the day before this movie opened in theaters.

Patzer
Felix slips the suspender onto his left arm once, then again when the shot changes, when he puts the Santa suit back on in the bathroom.

Zitate
[on the phone]
Philip: Just remember that in every pothole there is hope. Well, you see, pothole is spelled P-O-T-H-O-L-E. So if you take the P, and add it to the H, the O, and the E, and rearrange the letters... or contrariwise, you remove the O, T, and the L, you get "hope". So, just remember, in every pothole there is hope!

Crazy Credits
The circular icons from Felix's mural appear throughout the end credits.

8/10

Brillliantly weird with an Outstanding cast!

Mixed nuts might as well refer to all the crazy mixed-up people in this film. A lonely transvestite. A serial killer. Several very "oversexed" and frustrated people! An ex-con-desperate Santa and an extremely pregnant girl. Perhaps Adam Sandler's silliest performance ever. What a cast! Steve Martin. Madeline Kahn. Rob Reiner. Gary Shandling. A temperamental elevator and a dangerously stale fruitcake. A vet who also has a people-practice. 3 cute dogs. A most unusual Christmas tree! Murder and mayhem! Alas, it's Christmas eve and there are not enough suicidal people to go around to justify the existence of a crisis hotline that has just been evicted! I find it enjoyable in a very zany and offbeat sort of way. Rita Wilson is adorable as the love-starved female who has a serious "crush" on Steve Martin. Disliked by most critics, and you will either love or hate this movie!
