If Christmas is the season to be jolly, a time when feelings of merriness, joy and goodwill to all humankind are supposed to swell in the hearts of us all, then there have always been those, from Dickens' Scrooge through to the Grinch of Dr Suess, who are unafraid to voice their opposition to the enforced mirth and crass consumption of the Noël period. And for every saccharine Santa kiddie flick there is another film which dares to show that all the tinsel, carols, presents and pudding in the world are not enough to conceal the darkness and despair that lie in the bottom of the Christmas stocking. Think
It's Got: Talking walnuts; hand-carved wooden pickles; decapitated donkeys; excellent performances, including the brilliant John Ritter (in his last ever performance) as a store manager bamboozled by his own political correctness; and the name Leonardo da Vinci used as an unlikely but effective insult ("What'd you call me...?", "I called you a fuckin' guinea homo from the fifteenth fuckin' century, you dickhead!").
It Needs: Viewers who are not easily offended by what one character calls 'the three Bs' (booze, bullshit and butt-fucking).
Alternatives: 'Shakes the Clown', The Nightmare Before Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life
Summary: Hilariously irreverent antidote to a cloying Christmas.
