When Robin Williams passed away in August, he left four unreleased films behind. One of those was “A Merry Friggin’ Christmas”, a holiday comedy starring Williams and Joel McHale.
As a performer, Williams could play anything from “Patch Adams” to “The Angriest Man in Brooklyn”. Mitch, his character in “A Merry Friggin’ Christmas”, seems to fall toward the latter end of the spectrum. He’s so unpleasant, in fact, that his son Boyd (McHale) has been actively avoiding him for years. But a series of events leads to the pair spending hours together on a frantic journey to save the holiday for Boyd’s son.
“Entertainment Tonight” debuted the “A Merry Friggin Christmas” trailer.
The first trailer isn’t terrible, but it’s also not as funny as you’d hope something involving a cast this good would be. In addition to Williams and McHale, “A Merry Friggin’ Christmas” also stars Lauren Graham, Clark Duke, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Oliver Platt, Tim Heidecker, and Candice Bergen. “Trophy Wife’s” Ryan Lee and Looper‘s Pierce Gagnonre present the younger generation.
A Merry Friggin’ Christmas gets a date release on November 7. Williams’ other upcoming releases include “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb“ (December 19), “Absolutely Anything” (2015), and “Boulevard” (TBA).
