Too directionless. Clearly low budget. Sound mix is awful. Filming location is nice. Acting is cheesy (but I think that's the intent here). Ultimately though it lacks any character development so you simply don't care. That leaves you with the handful of funny moments and there aren't enough of them. Pass on this unless you're really bored.

I love my christmas movie, from the first of November until Christmas, we watch one every Sunday. I thought I'd seen it all. Boy was I wrong... Terrible mixing, someone had a go at it with the foleys. No clear story. Horrendous mix of bad motion picture drawing and mediocre acting.

I'm so sorry but this movie was not worth my Christmas spirit.

Worse film I have started to watch this year.

Awful acting and stupid story.

If you want a good laugh just watch the coverage of the USA elections farce it's really hilarious !!!!

Wow, where to begin. The movie follows a teenage girl who very early on sets up her dysfunctional, small Ohio town before learning she's pregnant on Christmas Eve. That's not really a spoiler since it's in the trailer and on the front imdb page. The movie then takes a dark turn. Like... really dark! We quickly learn that it's not just her hometown that's dysfunctional but also her family. There is some offbeat humor in the first half but the last half of the movie is especially fast, furious and funny! The trailer shows you that you're in for a little crude humor but what happened at the end stunned me in a dazed smile that didn't disappear from my face for the rest of the night. I will say that if you are looking for the traditional "Christmas spirit" you won't find it here!! But what you will find is a unique black comedy that weirdly fits the mood for 2020. There are moments where you can tell the filmmakers didn't have a lot of money but honestly, this was far more enjoyable then half the crap I've seen on Netflix and 100% of the Lifetime and Hallmark Christmas movies I've ever seen. Having said all that, I expect people to either love it or hate it and I loved it!

Off the wall Christmas movie! I'm definitely laughing at the expense of the characters in this film... something totally different that is rude, loud, and aggressive which I love!

Great cast and comical twist to a horrible Christmas. The crew and staff worked their butts off making this dream come true and it shows!

Great fun for the Christmas season. Has the aspects of it that can make it a cult Christmas movie like A Christmas Story or Die Hard. Pure indie / locally made.

This is a very different movie. Set in the rust belt town of East Jesus (home to Bethlehem Mall), it's basically the story of a 16 year old in a very dysfunctional family who finds out she's pregnant on Christmas Eve. Her flashbacks are animated and reveal what a very dark backstory about dysfunctional father. Unlike every Christmas movie family, they live in a very 50s-60s house, replete with three bedrooms, one bath (on the second floor) and dollar store Christmas decor. There's also a drunken Santa who meets an untimely demise, Grandma gets locked up, a hot dog stand where all the meals are named after breeds of dogs, the true story of how Grandma and Grandpa met, a cat fight that looks more like pro wrestling and what looks like Dirty Harry's pistol. If you find Monty Python and Mel Brooks funny and ever read Mad magazine, this is the Christmas move for you. Be sure to watch the credits!
