"Surviving Christmas" did barely better than Affleck's notorious 2003 bomb "Gigli," which had a $3.8 million opening weekend.
The movie stars Affleck as a lonely guy who hires a pretend family for the holidays. Critics trashed the movie, whose release was delayed a year to avoid bumping up against Affleck's thriller "Paycheck" during the 2003 holiday season.
Executives at DreamWorks, which released "Surviving Christmas," were unavailable for comment Sunday, a spokeswoman said.

Just from the trailers, this film is disturbing and mean spirited. A bomb.

I saw the trailer for this one and you could tell it was going to be awful. Looks like they tried to be like Christmas Vacation but the comedy timing looked terrible with all of the scenes. This guys career as a Hollywood actor could be over very soon.

Wonder if there is any correlation with Ben being a big lib while Buffy is a sorta coservative.

Maybe has-Ben can ask F'n for a Cabinet position. I hear that there is a Louis XV cabinet in one of the mansions that needs polishing.

It appears as if Affleck is on the same career path that Kevin Costner was on after he made Dances with Wolves.
He was a huge star for about a year or two afterwards, then his career was somewhat mediocre for the next 10 years (Waterworld, Wyatt Earp, The Postman) until he redeemed himself with Open Range in 2003.
Just my opinion, of course.
To: IDontLikeToPayTaxes
Maybe he should follow his hero...sinister kerry into politics.............they do seem a pair made in heaven. I wonder if damon is on his way to a tail spin???? Chuckle.....

I couldn't care less about Affleck, but I feel bad for Christina Applegate (one of his co-stars).
She's still my dream girl!

Also, Team America is in 4th place. I saw it Friday. It's not for everybody but I liked it.
And I think it pretty much destroyed Matt Damon's career.

ben affleck is box office poison.Yeah, I've noticed. Almost everything he's touched for the past 3 or 4 years, besides Sum of All Fears and Daredevil, has turned to sh*t at the box office. And even those two films were moderate successes when you consider the production costs.

From Ben Affleck's journal:
Note to self - spend less time campaigning for Kerry and more time considering choice of movie scripts. A few more like that and I'll be the next Ed Begley Jr.
