You can see everything, but don’t see this:

A horror comedy called “Christmas with the Kringle’s” has opened to a ghastly start.

The 24 reviewers who somehow saw it give “Kringles” a cringe ZERO on Rotten Tomatoes.

It’s very hard to get a ZERO. Will the “Kringles” maintain it?

Last night, the ‘movie’ made $370,000 — which guarantees around a million dollars for the weekend, or less depending on the desperation for entertainment on Halloween.

A person named Kevin Lewis, whose highest rated previous outing got a 60%, is the director. His other films were never reviewed.

A bunch of nice actors are in it, mostly from TV and commercials, appear in the film. Briarcliff is the distributor, as such. They must be thinking of a one week release at best. By Christmas these Kringles will be in the cut out bin behind the dollar-ninety nine bin of wrapping paper at CVS.
