Reviews

Ugly Sweater Party received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 5.3/10, reflecting a polarized response. Some viewers appreciated its unique approach to holiday-themed storytelling, praising the film’s dark humor and Sean Whalen’s performance for adding depth to an otherwise straightforward narrative. However, others found the pacing uneven and the plot occasionally predictable, which detracted from the overall enjoyment. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an official aggregated score for the film, indicating limited critic coverage, but audience reviews are similarly varied, with some highlighting the film’s charm and others criticizing its execution. Metacritic also lacks a formal rating, suggesting that the movie may appeal more to niche audiences who enjoy unconventional holiday comedies rather than mainstream viewers. Overall, Ugly Sweater Party stands out for its quirky premise but struggles to maintain consistent engagement throughout.
