"Don't eat the penis. It's just for garnish."

The Ref - stars Judy Davis, Kevin Spacey, and Dennis Leary.

The Chasseurs are not having a good Christmas. Mrs. and Mr. are in couple's counselling that is not going well. She wants a divorce. He does not. Their son is a delinquent that have in military school. They are under the thumb of his overbearing rich mother. And on Christmas Eve they are held hostage by Dennis Leary a thief who has the misfortune of having a terrible drunk getaway partner and attempting to rob the wrong house. His next mistake: taking a dysfunctional family hostage where he must "ref" this feuding couple.

I think this is a funny funny holiday movie. Dennis Leary is fantastic. There are subtle bits of awesome humor hidden for extra laughs. It pays to remember that the person holding the gun calls the shots.

Rent it if you haven't seen it. It is a fun Christmas film. Tis the season. Enjoy.
