I give this movie a 2 out of 10. I believe that the four vignettes going on at the same time is way, way way too confusing. I saw this movie on TV and not on DVD which could explain the differences in the reviews. It was way too much work to sit and enjoy the movie. Not only were there four different vignettes, the sound kept going off and on through each of the four vignettes so that even though the video was continuous the sound was choppy and it was difficult to get into the cohesiveness of the movie(s).This is definitely a movie for those 20 and above and for those below the age of 70 who would enjoy a more cohesive movie. There is no snack time during this movie since it will take your complete and total focus to understand all that is going on. Way too much work for me. I like to sit back and enjoy the story (singular) on screen and not have to try and concentrate on four different vignettes with intermittent sound. This movie is only good to figure out if you enjoy multiple movies at the same time. It is almost a waste of time to see.

The move "A Merry Friggin' Christmas" attempts to be funny but the humor isn't cute, it is almost sick. It is not a movie for the children. It is for adults only because only the adults can appreciate the humor. I do like Robin Williams and Candice Bergen, but not in this movie. This movie left me feeling really flat. Most Christmas movies make me feel good in the end, but with this one -- I'm just glad the movie ended. I guess I should have given it one star, but with Robin Williams, it does have some redeeming grace. One should spend their time elsewhere or doing something else. This movie might appeal to the 20 year old dope heads. This movie reminds me of how Beavis and Butthead might do Christmas.

The Comedians is a film best enjoyed by those who are 30 years or older and who enjoy the wonderful stars of the 1960s. This movie is worth watching for the wonderful stars of Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Alec Guinness, James Earl Jones, and Peter Ustinov. These alone make the movie. I enjoy watching the on-screen romance between the Burton and Taylor, knowing that off screen they were also in love. The movie is a prime time movie, even competing with today's movies. The biggest problems with this movie is that it is too long and too predictable. The movie is a bit slow at many points. However, I still enjoy watching and listening to the stars in the film. Enjoy the film with any snack or even with a TV dinner. I give it 4 thumbs up.
