I haven’t seen either yet, but from your description they seem like two very different movies with a similar central character, but with differing themes and tones. I’m excited to watch both. My guess is, aside from the Mel Gibson thing, is that dark Christmas dramas are a much tougher sell than dark and campy Christmas action comedies (assuming my impression of the trailer is accurate). But, I’m looking forward to watching them. Thanks for the summaries!
