I don't believe every movie has to preach, however this movie didn't have to outwardly deny that Christmas is a religious holiday. The line was delivered as if to intentionally make a mockery of the religious reasons for the season. They could've just left that out but since they did not, it has lost its charm. We will not be watching the rest of the movie. I was looking forward to Eddie Murphy bringing the fun, however I was left sadly disappointed. Christmas is a time of family and fun, but I just don't think it was necessary to include anti-Christian references. Also, the script was slow and seemed to have unnecessary fillers.
