No carols are sung. No Santa is seen, and the decorations are few and far in-between. This is more of an anti-Christmas, anti-feel-good flick, but it's one you might want to watch more than once.

Dark, depressing comedy has lots of cursing, drinking.

Rated: 2/5

Buried deep beneath all the booze and bullets, there is some humanity here - it just takes a little digging to unearth it all.

Dreadful, but it's difficult to tell who's to blame for this mess.

People are weirdly nitpicky of this movie for the most minute things. This is not a traditional Christmas movie full of carols and lights. It’s a pretty compelling admittedly dark dry humor story with great acting decent action and a cast giving believable performances. I loved it and it’s become a tradition to watch every year.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This one lost me pretty fast. Main girl, already looking like a foolish character after the Dr appointment, now working the counter at the convenience store. She's wearing ear buds with her back turned to everything, but gets upset when a customer had to tap her shoulder to get her attention? Too stupid to believe and impossible to continue.

Much better than the reviews would have you believe but too realistic for some

A redemption story with some dark humour, and a beautiful ending. Great cast and performances. If you don't get it and prefer hallmark, fine - but don't post ignorant reviews.

Better than most holiday movies. Real characters just searching through life in general.

Is the comedy in the room with us? If you appreciate your time, spare yourself of this movie. The cast may pull you into it, but trust me, it’s not worth your time. Interesting plot, terrible execution.
