Failing to live up to it anarchic convictions by adding sympathetic aspects to its central character shortly before the conclusion, Uncle Nick, much like the sorts of holiday celebrations it depicts, is ultimately too strained to be enjoyable.

Having to spend time with any of these characters would be nobody's idea of fun.

The unifying twist is the sort of thing meant to impress a screenwriting workshop instructor, while the action leading up to it toggles between gross physical humor and imagery and in-your-face personal dysfunction.

It certainly is a funnier holiday film than most holiday films.

Uncle Nick isn't as off-putting as its disgruntled lead, but unbalanced dark humor and disturbed storytelling don't do much for this alternative holiday disaster.

Rated: 6/10

What a dumb movie. Not recommended to anyone. Just watched at amazon freevee. Some critics recommend it witch is really out of consequence what will happen in this fiction to all family. Its like a z movie. No taste. They trying to make like bad santa version or uncle buck version. Really stupid. But nice girl Valerie.

there's a few funny quips, but it's mostly depressing & boring.

Disturbing and one of the worse Christmas movies ever. If anyone finds it funny to seduce their step niece then I'd be worried for their safety around young people generally. Why make comedy about such a disgusting subject, just yuk.

This is not the best film ever, but thats not what its trying to be, its just a fun, silly and amusing xmas film. I really enjoyed it! The film is made up of lots of little things that remind you of parties or xmas days you had in the past. Grab a couple of whiskies, put on the fire, switch your braid off and have a little chuckle for an hour

Ugh. This was basically a clinic on how to make Brian Posehn unfunny.
