Mixed Nuts

Mixed Nuts (1994) is a Christmas comedy you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Nora Ephron. Steve Martin plays Philip, the optimistic director of a Los Angeles crisis hotline on Christmas Eve — the same night their landlord is kicking them out of the office.

The phones keep ringing with desperate callers, but the people answering them are barely holding it together themselves. Madeline Kahn, Rita Wilson, Juliette Lewis, Adam Sandler, and a pre-fame Liev Schreiber pile into the tiny office, each arriving with their own brand of disaster. The plot gets wilder with every knock on the door.

Ephron adapted the French film Le père Noël est une ordure and pushed it into gleeful absurdity — this is a film where kindness and chaos coexist in the same cramped room on the worst night of the year. Stream Mixed Nuts (1994) online on iFILM.
