| VarietyNick SchagerEven at a brisk 81 minutes, this indie can barely sustain its boozy comedic buzz. |
| Village VoiceChris PackhamPosehn, flaunting his insulin-resistant physique and middle-aged dong, is the perfect counterpoint to the wretched American Beauty, providing a way more accurate portrayal of midlife creepiness. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiDemski and director Chris Kasick wrap up the story neatly — in both senses of that word — by suggesting that we can all feel better at somebody else's expense. |
| UR Chicago MagazineJohn EstherIt certainly is a funnier holiday film than most holiday films. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckFailing 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. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyThe bad behavior on display, instead of emerging organically from the characters, seems frequently chosen from a menu of sorts. |
| Movie MezzanineSean BurnsI spent the following 93 minutes wondering what kind of absurd bet Errol Morris must have lost to have his name associated with this dire project. |
| User ReviewRoss HGreat film. You can tell its a budget movie and that actually makes the whole thing quite charming. |
| User ReviewD MIt's not too well-acted and suffers from some weird pacing issues within scenes, but it is disgusting, dark, moderately funny, and it at least refuses to fit the standard Christmas movie mold, and sometimes boldly does so. |
| User ReviewShawn RNothing like watching a drunken Uncle around the holidays. Had some laughs. |
