Three generations of benign bigots have their dysfunctional autonomy rattled in this preposterous black comedy when one Christmas Eve Santa Claus comes to visit and turns out to be African American. The six characters — a harried CEO and his happily medicated wife, a Goth teenager and her narcissistic brother, their foul-mouthed grandmother and the colorful St. Nick — add up to what LA Weekly called a tale told “with irreverent wit and a touch of rueful realism.”
