Title: Robin Williams in A Merry Friggin' Christmas
Review: This move is not for everyone. However, I liked "A Merry Friggin' Christmas." Robin Williams as Virgil Mitchler plays the role of an unhappy, bitter, cranky man. This is just a cover for his true feelings. Virgil's life has been nothing spectacular as he has owned his own porta potty business for decades. Virgil lives through the successes of his son. His daughter is married to a sex offender and is in denial. Virgil's grandchildren each have unique, distinct personalities and quirks. If you want to see Robin Williams in a role completely different from comedy, you will enjoy this movie. It is a little heartbreaking as it was released after the death of Robin Williams. The movie is very short. Just over an hour and fifteen minutes.

Title: A Good Not Great Epitaph For Robin Williams
Review: "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" ushered in a wave of what I would characterize as anti-Christmas movies. Films like "Surviving Christmas", "Christmas With the Kranks", and "Four Christmases" for better or for worse illustrated the down side of the holiday usually focusing on dysfunctional families getting together with tension and mayhem ensuing. Though not as warm and fuzzy as "A Christmas Story" I'm hesitant to lump this film with that dubious company. There's actual poignance regarding the disconnect between the boozing cantankerous father (Robin Williams) and his workaholic hedge fund broker son (Joel McHale). Fingers aren't pointed with blame allocated equally between the combatants. Beyond the cynicism demonstrated by Williams' character lies melancholy and regret that he didn't do enough for his brood. I also liked Candice Bergen's turn as the clan matriarch who dispenses sage advice and TLC along with beer with tomato juice. I wouldn't label this film a holiday staple but it does offer some food for thought

Title: Family at its best.
Review: This was the first movie I've been able to watch since Robins passing and it was well worth seeing. Once again I am astounded by the many characters he played so well and the true depth of his craft. Being immortalized forever in all the movies I grew up watching him in will never be the same.I am happy with my choice in making this my first since he's moved on. I related as I am sure many others will as well. There were times of sadness, laughter and forgiveness. Pretty much the holidays in general. Merry Christmas in the real world.

Title: Nothing Merry About This...
Review: I was hoping the film would be a fun one, but this was such a downer in so many respects that I am thoroughly disappointed. The cast, all fine actors, never gel. I never believed that McHale and Graham were a happy married couple; likewise Candace Bergen seems unable to relate to Robin Williams...and anyone else. The line readings are so flat that there's no spirit in this film, it's as if everyone hired was so bored that they couldn't muster any energy, especially the director. Sad that this is among Williams' final films as it's not one to savor at all. I love a majority of the cast but the lack of Christmas spirit puts this among the least enjoyable holiday movies ever.

Title: I absolutely loved it, classic Robbin Williams brilliance
Review: I absolutely loved it, classic Robbin Williams brilliance, a great mix of actors bring together a- funny, heart warming, family friendly movie. Just a lovely comedy with a beautiful message that a loving but crazy family can always find a way to be together and some how pull it off. Thank You Robbin for making Me laugh, cry, and reflect, We miss you so much.

Review: I love this movie. It is a story about a disfunctional family coming together at Christmas. Been done before you say. But this is Robin Williams!... A father of a young boy takes his family (wife and son) to spend Christmas with the family he feels he has nothing in common with, especially his father(Williams), whom he believes destroyed Christmas for him as a young child. He would do anything to prevent the same thing happening with his own son. This is a wonderful film with lots of laughs and some drama. But they work it out in the end. I would recommend this film to any Robin Williams fan and any fan of Christmas movies. It is a welcome addition to my collection and will be watched every year with my own family.

Review: Robin Williams RIP. One of Robin's last movies and for those who loved his crass/raw earlier humor of his career, you then will appreciate the grouchy old crass Robin as well. Lessons are learned and tears were shed watching this for many many reasons.Good quality DVD as well.
