A Very Larry Christmas

About This Movie

A Very Larry Christmas is one of those quirky TV movies that just fills the air with a mix of holiday warmth and awkwardness. The whole premise is pretty offbeat—Larry, this sweet but directionless guy, is thrust into the role of Santa after the real one gets injured. There's a strange charm to his journey; you can feel the lighthearted anxiety in his performance. The pacing is typical for a TV movie, with a steady build-up to the big night, but it has these nice little moments of reflection about family and belief. The practical effects are minimal, which kind of works in its favor, keeping the focus on Larry's earnest attempts to channel Santa's spirit. It's the sort of flick that you either love for its earnestness or find a bit too cheesy, but that’s part of its charm.
