She and Rasmussen also give the production a trace of poignancy, like the evocation of a Christmas Eve light snowfall outside an office window. You'll come away warmed. It's an alternative to cheerier holiday fare that offers big laughs for people who don't mind seeing Christmas customs get the middle finger. While Jeff Goode's script meanders and winds, it gets funnier, more lewd and more bizarre where it could get cutesy or expositional. Director Chris Flieller follows suit by navigating his actors' performances far north of normal, with energy levels well in the red for the duration.
Some moments go over the top, and some fall flat, but many find laughs.
