A Merry Friggin’
Christmas
is
a film festival movie with a limited theater release in the United States. It’s
a depressing, visual portrayal of familial hatred, disrespect, chronic
alcoholism, abandonment, betrayal, alienation, and complete dysfunction at a
Christmas family gathering. The story’s thin storyline complicates its mediocre
attempt to entertain. Definitely not an uplifting holiday watch, the film
contains very little to smile about.

Maybe. This movie leaves the audience with very little to smile about.
