If you’re a fan of Robin Williams’ iconic work (seriously though — who isn’t?), then you most likely cherish his films for their warm comedic aura. If that’s the case, then you’re in for quite the curveball this holiday season. One of his last films, A Merry Friggin’ Christmas stars the seasoned actor playing a curmudgeonly negligent father. The 2014 dramedy is currently streaming on Hulu and Amazon Prime Video.

In the film, Williams plays Mitch Mitchler, the estranged alcoholic father of Joel McHale’s character Boyd. A father himself, Boyd wills his son into believing in Santa Claus despite (or due to) his own father ruining the classic fairy tale for him as a child. Mitch and Boyd are forced to address their standoffish father-and-son relationship when Boyd, forced to visit his family over the holiday, realizes he and his wife Luann (Lauren Graham) left their son’s gifts miles away at home and the two hit the road on a mission to retrieve the gifts before sunup. Boyd’s brother Nelson (Clark Duke) inadvertently joins the trek after stowing away in a porta potty on the back of the truck.

Throughout the movie, Boyd and Mitch take passive-aggressive jabs at each other and the rest of the family, including low life brother-in-law Tim Heidecker who seems to add the most comedic value to the film. In the midst of the duo’s road trip, when they reach Boyd’s home and Mitch sees what a success his son has become, he realizes that their relationship has gotten so strained to the point that Boyd had even cut him out of a family photo. SPOILER ALERT!: They eventually reconcile on their way back and the film ends with the family coming together on the front lawn to play with the children and their Christmas gifts.

While it’s far from your classic Robin Williams flick, A Merry Friggin’ Christmas is a certainly “good enough” holiday film to add to your repertoire if you’re looking to change it up from the every-year regulars like Elf and Home Alone. Where it lacks in general comedy and script content, the film shines for its all-star cast. It was filmed the same year Williams passed away and released in November 2014, just three months after the brilliant actor passed away. Watching the film will most likely make you sad, but it will also remind you of how influential the beloved actor was and how much we truly miss him.
