A bunch of struggling artists live in New York and whine/complain/party/waste their lives and time. Elenor and Stash are the more focused on couple. She makes hats, he's a raging jerk who treats her like trash and paints. Random things happen, then it ends.
Oh God this movie was a tedious slog. You want to like Bernadette Peters but her character is just a dead zone. Everyone else is a pretentious moron and nothing happens! Don't get me started on the baseball game scene which did not belong at all.
The only selling points to wasting two hours of your life with this barf is the soundtrack and sense of time and place. But as far as a story or characters or anything else, don't bother.

The great Ron Van Clief deserved better than this slapdash and shoddy documentary. It's mostly just an extended interview with him where he struggles to remember things, gets dates mixed up, rambles a bit, and repeats himself. The few clips are really bad quality and the photos are often improperly sized and stretched. The only interviews done seem to have been done at comic cons, complete with crowd noise and displays behind them, or else self-made by people in their houses. It was nice to see a few karate clips, but there needed to be some kind of effort to get to the heart of the man and SHOW him, not just use a 35 minute interview and leave it at that. The guy is a legend and deserved better.
Steve Uriel's eagerness at the holidays annoys people so he makes an app to measure holiday cheer. Then a tech billionaire takes it and turns people into point chasing zombies so Urkel has to go to Santa for help.
Overall this was ok, despite a few really bad songs, and Jaleel White's inability to do Urkel's voice anymore. It had a message sort of and included lots of other holiday traditions. But it's 25 years after Urkel was a thing and this is filled with inside jokes and call backs that kids don't understand and it's also not funny, adult, or interesting enough for adults who grew up watching Urkel. The family matters characters are MIA and the Santa reveal doesn't land at all. So while it's not the worst Christmas special it also exists in a realm of "why?"
