Reviews
A Merry Friggin' Christmas received predominantly negative reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds an approval rating of just 14%, with the consensus pointing to a failure to capitalize on its talented cast and a humor style that often feels forced or outdated. Metacritic reports a score of 28 out of 100, indicating generally unfavorable reviews. Critics frequently cited the film's uneven tone and lack of genuine emotional depth. For example, The Hollywood Reporter described the movie as "a forgettable holiday comedy that falls flat despite Robin Williams’ presence." Meanwhile, IMDb users gave it an average rating of 5.2 out of 10, indicating mixed to unfavorable viewer opinions. Reviewers noted that while the premise and cast had potential, the execution resulted in a series of awkward and unfunny moments, with a script that never quite finds its footing. However, some viewers appreciated the attempt at a darker, less traditional holiday comedy and found moments of humor, especially in the dynamics between McHale and Williams.
