March 9th, 1994, saw the release of a film that is often overlooked every year because of its vulgarity during the holiday season. No, Bad Santa would come a decade later. We're talking about the Christmas comedy that wasn't even released during Christmastime, the overlooked holiday classic, The Ref. A movie about a bickering Connecticut couple that is on the brink of divorce but then encounters a cat burglar who takes them hostage in their home on Christmas Eve. Now, what turns into a simple hostage situation turns into a Christmas from hell, to see who gets driven to the brink of insanity first.
