“For years now, I have been able to rely on a twisted programmer at local station CFTO for the perfect antidote to a Christmas overdose to show up, right on schedule, Christmas night, or, at worst, Boxing Day Night.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie probably isnu0026#39;t as funny if you arenu0026#39;t already full up to your eyeballs with stockings and chestnuts and carols, but on Christmas night, this movie will have you in stitches.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe lengthy set-piece when the family finally sits down to Judy Davisu0026#39; traditional Scandinavian Christmas feast has me laughing out loud every time I see it. Think: Long Dayu0026#39;s Journey Into Night on coke. Seriously. (But in a funny way.)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePlus: Any movie that contains the line u0026quot;I just punched out Santa Claus.
