The Merry Frinks

This film is hilarious. It loses a little about half way through, but the opening 20 minutes with the disfunctional family is downright hilarious. This pre *Roseanne" family is something you never saw in old Holltwo6od films. Dad is a drunk, the son is a juvenile delinquent, daughter is an ungreatful brat, the brother is an angry communust, grandma is a foul mouthed sneaky drunk who is always lobbing insults and fighting with the teenager. Then throw in Guy Kibbee, the long lost uncle who decides to move in with them. Finally, we have mom. A contrast to them all A total sweetheart who is constantly doing nice things for the family she loves. This is a must see.
