A Christmas Too Many

One of the worst directed and written movies I have seen in the past 10 years.

Great cast, but, their acting was as I was watching a community play, put together at some high school.

It was sad watching great actors say bad lines and act as this was their first time acting.

A writer should never be the director of their own work. A good director that what the writer(s) have written has the actor act them out in a way that tells the story better.

The lines spoke in this movie show that the writer is very young and new, and should refine their work before making a C rated movie.

I think the writer, put up his own money to do this movie and didn't let anyone help him make it better.

But, I guess everyone has to start someplace.

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.

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.

Funny, funny funny. This well directed comedy shows that Mickey Rooney at even his advanced age still has it in spades. I bought this off Amazon.com and it's really the best thing i've done in a long time. Andrew Keegan is funny and the rest of the cast rocks. Writing makes the film. I loved it.If you're looking for something different, with lots and lots of belly laughs, then this is a good picture to watch. I heard rumors that it was shot for 300k which is AMAZING considering how good it is and who's in the cast. This is the kind of Xmas movie that people will watch over and over again. I hear Lionsgate has picked it up for a 2007 wide release.
