Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
"Fanny, Annie & Danny" may be an unpleasant story about unpleasant characters, but the acting is fabulous.

New York Times
The more difficult characters here (all female) and resulting character dynamics are so consistently shrill that the pic feels a bit too one-dimensional and cruel to leave the small-tragedy aftertaste it could have.

Rating: 4/5 --
I left the film feeling horrible for or about the characters onscreen, but it doesn't mean this is a bad movie; it's a really great movie, just not a feel-good movie.

Writer-director Chris Brown makes a play for the "And You Thought Your Family Was Crazy" sweepstakes with Fanny, Annie & Danny.

Slant Magazine
Mostly the movie just gets off on how awful and/or pathetic its characters are, calling on the viewer to judge or pity rather than sympathize with its gallery of grotesques.

Fanny, Annie & Danny will make anybody with a family, the more dysfunctional the better, cringe and grin.

Tribune News Service
Writer-director Chris Brown obviously loathes Christmas, and that's just fine with us, especially as that hostility has resulted in such a dark and funny film.

Product Description:
A domineering family matriarch insists that her three adult children return home for the holidays, but discovers that sometimes estranged siblings are best left separated as anger and resentment in the family surges to an all-time high. Fanny is developmentally disabled, and approaching her 40th birthday. Her younger sister Annie has cared for her since they were both children, but she gets a break when Fanny moves into a group home, gets a job, and achieves a certain level of independence. When the candy factory where Fanny works goes out of business, however, it starts to look as if Annie's obligation to care for her big sister are far from over. Meanwhile, their brother Danny has somehow managed to avoid all family responsibilities for years. But when Fanny, Annie, and Danny's mother lets them all know that she expects to have an old-fashioned family dinner for the holidays, it's only a matter of time before deep-rooted resentments start to crack the surface of their carefully maintained facades.
