Review of The Ref (1994) by Robert B — 14 Jun 2007
If you love Denis Leary, you will love this movie. Leary basically plays himself, but thats a good thing to fans of his comedy, as everything that makes him hilarious is here. Also, Kevin Spacey, as always never giving a bad performance, would later channel this role here into greater effect in American Beauty.
Daring to go dark comedy on Christmas is a bold move, and judging by the returns and how many people actually know about this, not a rewarding one. But this does remind that not all Christmas are Jimmy Stewart like in nature, and this bitterly funny comedy proves that.
