    As someone who was deeply invovled in the church for 20+ years, I can confirm that movies are, indeed, either Christian or normal.

    I love how the son is just a raging socialist.

    This movie is basically just rich people imagining how poor people live.

    Fast food employees being treated like garbage is the most realistic part of this movie.

    Mad respect to that kid for trying to radicalize his dad

    This movie is just rich people imagining what being poor is like and getting it completely wrong

    I’d argue the son is the best actor. He’s had to develop complete apathy to survive in this crazy family

    Listen, I know that boy has no emotion, but his expression after telling his dad about wealth inequality and his dad completely missing the point is a mood

    To speak in Yugioh Terms: The writer for this movie hates his wife.

    i think my life goal is to become a terrible actress in movies like this just so i can see myself in a kurtis connor video

    For those who aren't familiar with yugio terminology, "fuck this movie" implies that Kurtis is not enjoying the film

    This movie is very "I uphold the sexist gender roles that demand women stay at home, but I'm bitter that my wife doesn't work"

    I'll give you a bit of the inside scoop on this film. It was written, directed, and produced by the director who also played the mean guy in the bathroom who shoved paper towel down the neck of Jack's penguin costume. He and his wife also did the casting. The director also edited the film... The casting was mostly done through cattle calls in NE Indiana. There was not a lot of direction going on during filming so that's the only defense I can give to a lot of the bad acting in the film. Nothing like "project," or "try that differently..." There weren't a lot of takes on the film either... meaning, each scene was only shot a few times...sometimes only 2-3 takes. I believe the budget was something like $10,000. The members of the cast were only given the scenes they were in. We knew zero about the film other than what we'd read in auditions and the scenes we appeared in. So there was no context given to anything we were doing. None of the actors were paid. Not even the leads. The leads were given... I think 2-3% of the proceeds of the film? Something like that. None of the supporting cast or extra were paid anything. They didn't even cater food during filming. Being on set wasn't much different than being in a community theatre production - except there wasn't any rehearsals. I've done a lot of theatre, playing leads and large supporting roles, and was extremely disappointed in my own performance. But again, we weren't getting much direction so none of us really had any idea we sounded or looked that bad. Wardrobe... came from our own closets...there was no costume department. There was very little to no make-up done. Props were off the cuff...no prop dept. So, again, 10K budget... very little direction... And an interesting tid bit... the mean mom and the fighting kids at the restaurant were actually the wife and kids of the actor who played Wesley. So... there's the dirt.

    Absolutely love the "Joseph and Mary were homeless" thing this plot hinges on given that they were just... travelling? They had a home???? But who am I to question such an *Unusual Santa*?

    The manager making Jack cashier and then just standing next to him telling him he's doing it wrong is such a manager thing to do, the most realistic part of the movie

    I love it when you think you're watching a normal movie but in the last 5 minutes it swerves hard into being a Christian movie.

    Fun fact: That whole "work for free for a week" part is actually, uh,
