SYNOPSIS:
On Christmas Eve, Cliff, a down-on-his luck comedian who can’t catch a break, chips a tooth, and suddenly finds himself in the late-night care of Didi, a sharp-witted, no-nonsense dentist. What should have been a quick fix unfolds into an unforgettable night of unexpected twists, comic mishaps, and a brewing heartfelt connection. Their holiday misadventures lead to the discovery that the best gifts aren’t under the tree–they’re the ones you never saw coming.
It’s light on its feet but gradually gathers real emotional weight. It’s also beautifully shot and steeped in atmosphere. We walk away from it feeling like we’ve actually been somewhere and felt something. – New York Magazine
With two great performances and a pervading sense of warmth, that’s enough to make The Baltimorons one of the year’s best comedies, and in its own way, a new Christmas classic. – AV CLub
It’s an incredibly funny, genuinely moving character study that’s not explicitly “about” anything but these two lovely people. – Robert Ebert.com
It’s the kind of quirky concept that could easily have been cringe material, but the actors give it a lived-in naturalism that sneaks up on you. – The Hollywood Reporter
