David C Está entretenida es para verla en familia en estas épocas de diciembre Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/24/24 Full Review David F This could have been good, but wasn't. One of Robin Williams's last films, and I suspect he did it for the money. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/23/24 Full Review Mark T Funny and dysfunctional family adult Christmas movie. Robin Williams is great. Underrated IMO. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review Hayden W An unconventional Christmas comedy with modern themed problems in families. I was immediately struck by the humor and Robin Williams last act was indeed his style of comedy Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Jeff M Unfortunately, the most noteworthy aspect of this below average holiday film is the fact that it was released a mere three months after the untimely death of Williams. That inevitably puts a damper on the events. But even taking this event out of the equation, this a movie filled with unlikable characters about whom we caring nothing and a completely abrupt switch in tone from first half to second half that is not believable in the slightest. Imagine if CHRISTMAS VACATION was filled with half a dozen Uncle Eddies - one Eddie can be ridiculously fun, but a movie filled with them is a yuletide nightmare. That's basically what we have here with a couple exceptions. I always thought McHale had the makings for a successful big screen light comedian, and if anything works in this movie it is him, for the most part. He does his best to hold the shards of this story together but eventually gets lost in the tidal wave of mediocrity like everyone else. Unfortunately, Williams is pretty unbearable here - his attempts at mean-spirited comedy fall flat, and his 180 degree turn-around brings out his mawkish PATCH ADAMS side that is almost unwatchable. A recurring scuzzy-looking Santa who drinks bourbon and may or may not be the real deal is totally unnecessary and negates any possiblity of this becoming a realistic familiy comedy. A cast this strong will obviously have a couple good moments here and there, but they deserve better - so do we. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/24 Full Review John A It has that exterior implying some kind of irreverence and ruckus that would make for some kind of effective comedy. Robin Williams (in one of his final roles) is truly shooting blanks along with his co stars. Friggin' Christmas is neither funny or moving in the slightest.
