Nothing ruins Christmas like family. Lewd, drunken Uncle Nick (Brian Posehn, Mr. Show, The Sarah Silverman Program) stumbles his way through his brother's cookie cutter-family's annual Christmas gathering in the hopes of scoring with a super-hot party guest. But the arrival of his equally crass sister coupled with Nick's liquor-fueled faux pas cause family secrets to bubble to the surface that might spell disaster for the whole clan before the night is over. Presented by Errol Morris, Uncle Nick is a raucously funny comedy of inappropriate behavior, uncomfortably interrupted trysts, and a monumental overserving of ten-cent beers. (Gryphon Entertainment)

I can't help it, but the humor of this film resonated with me, partly because it's intertwined with a pretty gritty theme, which ultimately serves as the point of the entire family gathering. The eroticism here is on a slightly different level than in other American films, which I also welcome. I don't just mean in the sense of what is shown, but also what is talked about.
