Nick (Brian Posehn) visits his brother's new house on Christmas Eve and revels in the inevitable implosion of the night as he tries to seduce his sex-pot step-niece.

Failing to live up to it anarchic convictions by adding sympathetic aspects to its central character shortly before the conclusion, Uncle Nick, much like the sorts of holiday celebrations it depicts, is ultimately too strained to be enjoyable.

Having to spend time with any of these characters would be nobody's idea of fun.

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.

It certainly is a funnier holiday film than most holiday films.

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.

This is not the best film ever, but thats not what its trying to be, its just a fun, silly and amusing xmas film. I really enjoyed it! The film is made up of lots of little things that remind you of parties or xmas days you had in the past. Grab a couple of whiskies, put on the fire, switch your braid off and have a little chuckle for an hour

Ugh. This was basically a clinic on how to make Brian Posehn unfunny.

Brian Posehn, a single middle age man drinks too much at a Christmas family gathering at his brother's house. After making a pass at his brother's step-daughter, he attempts to sleep off his drunk only to discover a family secret. I've followed Brian Posehn's career for nearly 20 years, so I was very glad to see him in a starring role. The step-son wears an Anthrax shirt.
