A Christmas Too Many

A Hollywood legend (Ruta Lee) invites her not-so-normal family home for the holidays.

I watched many Christmas movies this year... and this was, beyond a doubt, the worst. It was not well-acted, well-written, the characters were less than one-dimensional and relied on hackneyed stereotypes. I really hope that everyone who appeared in this was given an apology note from the director or producer.

You would think if they could convince Mickey Rooney to sign on, it must be at least a little bit decent. Or, heck, if you have Clint Howard, use him for something... and even Gary Coleman shows up? Wow. But no, they tried to get me to be so bored it turns into an endurance test to see how long I can last before I turn it off or thrown something at the screen. I was in mental anguish before the halfway point.

This movie is so over the top that it is hilarious! It has one of Clint Howard's most memorable performances as a stereotypical hair dresser, a role you might not recognize him in if you didn't know he was in the movie.

Been a long time since I've laughed so much and so hard as I did with this movie. I found it recently in Australia and it was such a pleasing experience. I was so excited about it, i bought the directors other film, something called To Kill A Mockumentary as well. That one is almost as funny as this one is. It's the story about a famous actress who has her family home for the holidays. It stars Ruta lee, the terrific and beautiful actress who I believe was in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers back when I was a child. Mickey Rooney stars as her ex husband in probably his best screen performance since Bill. There are a lot of terrific performances but the one that sticks out to me the most is that of a chap named Greg Joelson who practically steals the movie as an ex football player who's having strange side effects to some steroids he's taken. It's been a long time since I have had belly laughs while watching a movie. This is as funny as it gets. I hope that the director who i think wrote it as well gets a chance to do a studio film. He's obviously a terrific talent and someone to watch in the future. Very funny stuff. The two mobsters in the film are funny as well. And Gary Coleman was a hoot as the pizza guy. Definitely 10 out of 10.

It's SO Bad....It's Terrible!The Casting is the ONLY positive thing about it.Mickey Rooney has the only Funny Lines in the Movie.The Characters are Awful.A Mafia Moron,A Hit Man,Just Putrid Characterization.So Over the Top.Ruta Lee is almost Ok in it.There's Nothing To do with Santa.The Closest Thing This Movie gets to Christmas is When Someone Says " Jesus Christ "! Save Your Time,Watch ANYTHING ELSE! This is One of the Worst Movies I've Ever Seen.AVOID!!!

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE.

In this film it is Christmas. Disaster strikes when an aging actress invites her eccentric family to Hollywood for the holidays. She has a young hot director coming that she wants to impress however with her children coming over that will be hard. There is some very funny moments in this but it is NOT AS BAD AS OTHER PEOPLE are posting.

Its not the funniest but it serves its purpose.
