Don't let a weak title and unimaginative video cover fool you! This movie is solid and exceptionally funny - belly achingly funny in places.
Tenseness surrounds the Christmas Lunch at the parent's place. A divorced daughter has brought her new lover. Dad is not impressed. Everyone is on edge. An unwelcomed and rogue-larrikin (great) Grandfather (Warren Mitchell) also arrives. His great grandson is taught new lessons in life. The family barbecue is absolutely side splitting!
A very comical and credible script makes this movie a great treat. I would rate all performances as very strong. It doesn't have to be Christmas for you to watch and enjoy this movie.....it could well relate to any family reunion. I would rate this movie 8 out of 10.
