Leave your thoughts about The Perfect Holiday.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerAndy SpletzerEither you're in the mood for a sweet and simple Christmas movie or you're not. If you are, then Perfect Holiday should fit the bill nicely. |
| Entertainment WeeklyWhitney PastorekWhy throw in a bizarre device involving Queen Latifah as a narrating angel and a creepy, sallow Terrence Howard as her adversary? Their A-list names may be a draw, but it's too bad no one thought the endearing performances in this charming (if cliché) family romance would be enough. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere's not much original about the film, but it's played with high spirits and good cheer, there are lots of musical interludes, and it's pitched straight at families. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsStrives to be nothing more than easygoing and heartwarming. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirThere's almost no such thing as an entertaining holiday trifle anymore -- the kind of casual, cheerful little picture that you might see on a whim and end up enjoying, even beyond the breadth of your modest expectations. The Perfect Holiday is an attempt, at least, to resurrect the idea of the trifle |

| PremiereRyan StewartAn inoffensive piece of seasonal movie-muzak. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghFor a family-friendly holiday comedy, it's still coarse, formulaic and occasionally just plain weird. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanIf you're really hoping for a perfect holiday, steer clear of this stale fruitcake of a comedy. |
| VarietyJohn AndersonNeither perfect nor much of a holiday, more like a fruitcake passed around from arthritic aunt to demented uncle -- stale, predictable and made with fossilized ingredients. |
