The Week Before Christmas

It is a hectic time of year for the Horgans and young Sharon must do her share of turkey plucking. It isn't a particularly fun way to pass the time, although things look up when she meets attractive fellow plucker James. He agrees meet later that night, but when James doesn't turn up it sparks a chain of events that spell disaster for the Horgans…

Directed by Sharon Horgan, The Week Before Christmas leans on a strong ensemble — Conleth Hill, Sharon Horgan, Katherine Rose Morley — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2012.
