Editorial Reviews

Functioning as the head of a family of 7 brothers and sisters, Gerry is used to being the go-to guy to get family matters handled. When Jim, his estranged father of 20 years, shows up with a request to spend the holidays with the family, it is no easy feat for Gerry to address. Faced with old resentments, hurt feelings and anger, this is one family decision that won't be made easily, especially when his mother Rosie is adamant that Jim is never to set foot back into her home. Trying not to choose sides, Gerry must find a way for them to reach a decision on whether or not to forgive and allow the holiday family reunion.

Irish-American Christmas

By Mickey Ryan on December 15, 2012

Format: Amazon Instant Video Verified Purchase

Let me start by saying to the reviewers complaining about the profanity and brief sex scene, I have no idea what else you were expecting. 'The Fitzgerald Family Christmas' is a very loose continuation to Burns' 1995 indie 'The Brothers McMullen', neither of which are made for children. Moral? Don't always expect all holiday movies to be wholesome family fun in the tradition of 'A Christmas Carol' etc!

Gerald "Gerry" Fitzgerald (Burns) is a blue-collar Queens mick trying to gather his dysfunctional siblings together for a very special occasion: their father, who abandoned them many years ago, wants to spend Christmas with his family this time around. We find out the primary reason is he has something big to tell them, which may or may not go very well given the cicumstances. The refreshing return of the Burns/McGlone-as-brothers combination is great. Burns' Fitzgerald is basically an older and more mature version of his previous Barry McMullen, minus the sexual hang-ups and insecurity. Overall a charming little piece and a must see for anybody who grew up in an Irish-American household.

This hit close to home.....

By Jaylin Albao on December 19, 2012

Format: Amazon Instant Video Verified Purchase

Edward does it again with words, and characters that ARE the REAL WORLD. This hit close to home as my mother who also walked out on her family passed away from the same thing, and her last wish was to spend Christmas with family.
Love your flicks Ed....please continue your craft.....
