4/5 Confused with stand alone episode
  by Jay A. Lark (Detroit)
I'm a huge fan of the series so I purchased 'It's A Very Sunny Christmas' and watched it immediately. In comparison to the free weekly episodes, this is right up there in terms of humor. I had a few laugh out loud moments. I just don't understand why this was released separately and not just included in season 5. It's only one episode (43 minutes worth) and it basically costs the same as entire seasons. I wasn't really happy about that but, being a huge fan, I purchased it anyways. At least there could've been some more extras or something. The DVD doesn't include many and the ones they have aren't the greatest. Wish there could've been more bloopers and/or gag reels. Great episode and great show but loses a point because this unnecessary stand alone episode cost me extra money for no good reason.

3/5 Rip-Off

Full price for a 43 minute movie... What kind of crap is this! My advice for you is to find a friend or two (or three) to throw in on it, that way you only spend a few bucks. Otherwise, I don't think it is worth it. It is an extra-long mediocre episode at best. And the extra "The Gang Singing Christmas Carols", I don't even know what to say about that part, it is like some kind of demented 80 music video! I love Sunny, but buying this DVD felt a little like dropping the soap in the prison shower.

5/5 Spectacular

There seems to be two main groups of people giving this reviews - people who haven't seen it, but love the show, so they give it a 5, and people who hate the price, so they give it a 1. Ignore them both.

I just got this in the mail today, watched it, it's hilarious, as good as any episode. It's 40 minutes, the length of two episodes. The ending is a little weak, the rest is spectacular. That's really all there is to it. If you're willing to pay a standard DVD price for two episodes, go for it, I promise you won't be disappointed. If you don't think it's worth it, no one's twisting your arm, you have no right to complain.

4/5 Hilarious, but I admit may be expensive

I am a huge fan of Always Sunny and would definitely reckomend(Charlie spelling) this DVD. Yes, it is expensive. I was lucky enough to get it discounted with Seasons 1-4 on the deal of the day(Thanks Amazon!) so it didn't really effect me. The added violence and cursing definitely made me wish every episode could have it! They use the cursing efficiently and always to great effect. If you like Always Sunny you can't really go wrong with this DVD. I was excited to see Mack and Charlie paired together again(Lately the dynamic has been Frank/Charlie and Mack/Dennis) for some great, hilarious moments. Loved it and think you will love it too!

2/5 Not worth purchase!

I watched a rented copy last night and so glad it was not a purchase. It was a disappointment! First of all I was excited about the Christmas theme but there was just not enough funny. Plenty of typical "Sunny" bizzarre moments but its so nice when you get done with a regular season epsiode and have a bounty of funny quotes and I can't think of one for this special. For any fan, its definitely worth seeing but I would not purchase on its own accord, wait for when its included with Season 5.
