Lifesavers – Die Lebensretter (1994)

Lifesavers – Die Lebensretter: Directed by Nora Ephron. With Steve Martin, Madeline Kahn, Robert Klein, Anthony LaPaglia. The events focus around a crisis hotline business on one crazy night during the Christmas holidays.

“This quirky movie has become a family favorite of ours since it was released. Obviously not Oscar material, but definitely not to be panned as badly as some have done. Norah Ephrom has created a very clever and funny script from the original French play. Dark humor, sure, but time has toned it down in relation to the Bad Santa, Scrooged, etc. that have entered the Christmas move genre. I was always amazed that this movie was NEVER in the Christmas Holiday bins at Best Buy until this past year. Perhaps now it will enter the sub-culture consciousness, almost like a Christmas Story (but without the 24-hour marathon). If you havenu0026#39;t seen this movie, give it a chance. Adam Sandleru0026#39;s u0026quot;Chrisu0026quot; song should at least bring a smile.”
