An idyllic Christmas Eve turns into a night of comic nastiness when Gus, a cat burglar with a short fuse, takes the obnoxious Chasseur family hostage after a botched burglary. The burglary is a mistake, but the Chasseurs are a disaster. Caroline and Lloyd have a marriage made in hell, an evil spawn in son Jesse and a flock of appalling relatives. You'll laugh. You'll wince. You'll be glad this family isn't yours. THE REF is a furiously funny film you don't want to miss.
