“A Very Sunny Christmas” might be the best Christmas movie purchase this year. The usual humor is there, but since it’s on DVD, they’re able to use profanity and nudity. There’s singing, snow, drinking, and throwing rocks at trains; everything you love about Christmas.
It follows many Christmas traditions including A Christmas Carol, Rankin-Bass, and Danny DeVito looking like he’s being born completely naked and sweaty. Honestly, can you expect anything else from Danny DeVito?
Dee and Dennis start out by wanting to show Frank how terrible he’s been to them and plan to ruin his Christmas and change his life forever by “Christmas Caroling his ass.” They’re tired of his “fake outs” and try to force him into becoming a better person. It backfires completely as always and you see someone new fake them out.
While they do that, Mac and Charlie spend the day reliving childhood traditions, only to discover how screwed up they really were.
Mac’s parents were thieves of course and Charlie’s mom was a prostitute with random Santas. It was blurry because of his habit of sniffing glue so he pretends it didn’t happen. It comes back to him at the mall when he attacks Santa.
It’s a higher budget, double the length, and worth every penny. There isn’t a better choice when you’re choosing your holiday movie. The best thing about It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is you don’t have to really know the whole gang to watch this movie; you can start watching the show at any time. Once you see one episode, you’ll be addicted for life.
