Based on the French comedy Le Père Noël est une ordure , the film centers on (Steve Martin), the pathologically polite manager of "Lifesavers," a suicide prevention hotline in Venice, California. It’s Christmas Eve, and Philip is facing an eviction notice, a breakup, and a staff comprised of the lonely Catherine (Rita Wilson) and the high-strung Mrs. Munchnik (Madeline Kahn).
At its core, Mixed Nuts is a movie about . Every character is failing at the traditional "Christmas Card" life. Philip can’t keep his business or relationship afloat; Catherine is hopelessly in love with a man who doesn't notice her; the "Lifesavers" themselves are barely hanging on.
