Her part is small but spicy: she repeatedly tells her kids to "shut up and celebrate Christmas" while contorting her face into strange fried-egg expressions. A funny mix of maternal and monstrous, Connie is able to balance delicately the separate but equal horrors that consume her life. Her character accurately reveals the modern female condition in all its glorious yet irritated state...
