The Worst of Netflix: A Christmas Too Many
December 14, 2009 | Posted by Chris Sims
Today at Heavy.com, it’s the first of two Worst of Netflix Christmas Specials:
The thing about Christmas movies is that as many of them as there are, there don’t seem to be a whole lot of mediocre ones: They’re either great (A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, Elf) or the worst things ever put on film (Surviving Christmas, Jingle All the Way, that one with Jenny McCarthy where she has to stop the Grinch from giving her kid a vaccination or whatever).
We’ll give you three guesses which side A Christmas Too Many ends up on.
It goes without saying that these movies are terrible, but after the stupid-but-relatively-harmless diversion that was Time Runner last week, this one had an aggressive kind of awfulness that’s only been matched by the films of David Heavener.
How bad is it? So bad that there’s a record scratch sound effect used as a punchline… in the actual movie.

I haven’t read the review yet; the DVD cover by itself — just reading the cast list — is enough to crack me up.
I am the only man who will stand in defense of Jingle All the Way.
And I am the only one who will say that Elf is a terrible film.
Though not as terrible as this one sounds.
Will someone please explain “fagola” to me? Is it an actually Hebrew word and is used because it sounds oh-so-risqué or what?
A Yiddish word for a gay man is “feygelah,” comes from something completely different – namely, the Yiddish for “little bird.” Presumably it caught on because it happens to sound like “faggot.”

TEYURBUHMN.
And I am the only one who will say that Elf is a terrible film.
Well obviously you’re wrong, but we can still be friends.
A Yiddish word for a gay man is “feygelah,”
Yeah, but this one is pronounced with the accent on the O, like “victrola.” And yes, they’re using it as an anti-gay slur in this, which is this movie’s attempt at comedy.
I love Jingle All the Way! I mean, Arnold Schwarzenegger fighting crooked Santas for his kid’s toy – it’s hilarious because of all the ridiculousness!
For Marla Maples, doing a p0rn flick right now would be a step up.
Same for Mickey Rooney.
