I spent the following 93 minutes wondering what kind of absurd bet Errol Morris must have lost to have his name associated with this dire project.

Despite an amusingly dirty-and-dour lead performance, this Yuletide indie can barely sustain its boozy comedic buzz.

Rating: 6/10 --
Uncle Nick isn't as off-putting as its disgruntled lead, but unbalanced dark humor and disturbed storytelling don't do much for this alternative holiday disaster.

Rating: B+ --
Hilarious and profoundly dark, the feature is an interesting counterpoint to holiday cheer, offering an engaging lump of coal for those who prefer their Christmas thoroughly soiled by bad behavior.

Rating: 1/4 --
The unifying twist is the sort of thing meant to impress a screenwriting workshop instructor, while the action leading up to it toggles between gross physical humor and imagery and in-your-face personal dysfunction.

Product Description:
In this misanthropic Christmas comedy, crass and boozy Uncle Nick (Brian Posehn) crashes a family get-together at his brother's tasteful estate. His presence rankles everyone in attendance and unfetters long-simmering hostilities between guests.
