Robin Williams shuffles around looking angry and depressed - more so than the script would justify.

Some fans of the late Robin Williams may emerge to patronize this charmless, low-ball, low-wattage entry.

The actors all commit, but it's frustrating to see how little material they're given.

If you've seen a Christmas movie made in the last 30 or 40 years, then you've seen A Merry Friggin' Christmas. It's a Gatling gun of holiday movie clichés played out by a cast of characters that almost do a disservice to the term "broad stereotype."
November 10, 2014
The makers of "A Merry Friggin' Christmas" sprung for the fancy wrapping but skimped on the gift inside. How else to explain the gathering of such a talented and likable cast in service of such undercooked, utterly laugh-free material?
November 13, 2014
A slipshod comedy with Williams in default mode as a lovable grouch. A waste of a once-brilliant star.
November 07, 2014
[A] dysfunctional family holiday comedy that squanders the talents of its impressive cast who presumably signed on merely to work with the comedy legend.

The film's mix of elements of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" and "Bad Santa" is amusing.

Inconsequential and forgettable...
November 09, 2014
Whereas Bad Santa was nastier and riskier, as well as more mischievously winsome, A Merry Friggin' Christmas is as curiously timid as it is morally dubious.
November 13, 2014
Squanders a cast of actors usually able to elevate weak material.

Even with Williams in fine, feisty form in perhaps his final major role, it still never comes close to justifying its slender existence.
