Really? I’m just the opposite.

It’s a horrible Christmas movie.

Drunkeness, abuse, depression, failure and greed do not make for festive holiday spirits.

But because it had an unrealistic dopey ending; that made it a holiday movie?

Bah! Humbug!

There are ugly things in life. Sin, if you will. One might say this movie is instructive on how to deal with that ugliness. The very spirit of Christmas, some might say.

Correct, which is why it’s so good.

It’s about the building up inside of total despair and the wonderful redemption that occurs for this man.

Try Christmas Vacation. Cousin Eddie is always good for a laugh.
