Wow, where to begin. The movie follows a teenage girl who very early on sets up her dysfunctional, small Ohio town before learning she's pregnant on Christmas Eve. That's not really a spoiler since it's in the trailer and on the front imdb page. The movie then takes a dark turn. Like... really dark! We quickly learn that it's not just her hometown that's dysfunctional but also her family. There is some offbeat humor in the first half but the last half of the movie is especially fast, furious and funny! The trailer shows you that you're in for a little crude humor but what happened at the end stunned me in a dazed smile that didn't disappear from my face for the rest of the night. I will say that if you are looking for the traditional "Christmas spirit" you won't find it here!! But what you will find is a unique black comedy that weirdly fits the mood for 2020. There are moments where you can tell the filmmakers didn't have a lot of money but honestly, this was far more enjoyable then half the crap I've seen on Netflix and 100% of the Lifetime and Hallmark Christmas movies I've ever seen. Having said all that, I expect people to either love it or hate it and I loved it!
Review of Worst. Christmas. Ever.
