A Christmas Too Many

This is a very funny and very sick movie. You have to enjoy the type of humor for which Seth McFarlane is known, and unless you watch this on broadcast TV, prepare for a great deal of bad language. I heard several people get reprimanded for their language but didn't hear any. Usually this was because the sound went out at appropriate times. Substitute words also seem to have been added.

Ruta Lee is great, and Mickey Rooney surpasses even his "brother" Andy and yet still manages to be appealing.

Wait, Lana and Clark? Only on "Smallville", and even that one ends up with Lois.

Kevan Michaels and Johnny Ferrara are very good as the two "mobsters".

Andrew Keegan is also very appealing as the poor loser boyfriend.

When the director of the movie Lana wants to be in shows up, this adds even more laughs. He brings an agent who didn't do anything for me. I forget her name.

One highlight for me is Gary Coleman as the guy who delivers pizza after some family members complain about having to go vegan just because of Jack. He actually makes himself right at home and is quite funny. I have to wonder if Coleman was a loser who had to take roles like this where he made to look pathetic. But he convinced me that he was enjoying himself, and I hope he was, because I was enjoying watching him.

About halfway through the movie, something really bad happens, but this just makes the movie funnier, unlike a similar movie I saw a week earlier where tragedy turns a comedy into a drama.

The side effects from Uncle Teddy's medication give us the opportunity for some disgusting bathroom humor.

It's definitely not your typical family Christmas movie. It's a family, but don't let the kids watch it.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.
