I have already done two Christmas films: 'Elf' and 'Four Christmases.' I guess I really am a sucker for Christmas. Both movies are really about the importance of family. I come from a brood of five kids, and it's the one time of year we can all get together. It's hands-down my favorite holiday.
I don't like most Christmas movies. They're pretty bad, though they seem to make tons of money anyway. Like this movie 'Elf,' I got the script for that, and I turned it down right away. Against my wife's better judgment.
I know a lot of actors picture themselves winning Academy Awards. I really just wanted to do a Christmas movie because it's the kind of movie that I really love to watch. I'm a sucker for the holidays.
From November through December, 'tis the season for 'Home Alone!'
I wasn't Santa in Santa Jr., but I was Santa in Cancel Christmas.
So many Christmas films either are twee, or try and go super edgy, then stick on something Christmassy at the end of the movie.
Christmas movies, it's a hard thing to do. The danger is you just end up with a Hollywood star with a Santa beard. You risk it being fake and cheesy and not real.
I had always heard of Bad Santa one but I hadn't seen it, but it was sort of legendary.
Love Actually [is] one of the cutest Christmas movies.
