''Mixed Nuts'' is a 1994 holiday film directed by Crator/NoraEphron, who teamed with her sister Delia to adapt the the 1982 French film ''[[Film/SantaClausIsAStinker Le père Noël est une ordure]]''[[labelnote:Fr.]]''Santa Claus Is a Stinker''[[/labelnote]]. Creator/SteveMartin heads an ensemble cast that includes Creator/MadelineKahn, Creator/RitaWilson, Creator/JulietteLewis, Creator/AnthonyLaPaglia, and Creator/LievSchreiber, among others.

The plot revolves around a suicide hotline, a serial killer, two broke lovers, an eviction notice, and a trans woman who [[IJustWantToBeLoved just wants to be loved]]. The hotline is run by Philip (Martin), Catherine (Wilson), and Mrs. Munchnik (Kahn), and Catherine is in love with Philip. Even though it's Christmas Eve, business is slow–-the only calls they receive are either obscene or from people who are worried about a SerialKiller called the Seaside Strangler–-and the hotline has been evicted from its apartment unless Philip and company can pay their rent. Meanwhile, Gracie (Lewis) and Felix ([=LaPaglia=])--who are probably lovers, though it is never confirmed--are expecting a baby but cannot afford to give birth in the hospital, while Chris (Schreiber)--a transgender woman--is looking for someone who will respect her for who she is.

* InstantDeathBullet: [[spoiler: The landlord]] is instantly killed after Gracie accidentally shoots him through the door. It...[[ItMakesSenseInContext makes sense in context.]] Of course, she shot him in the head ''and'' chest.

* PetTheDog: Literally. Mrs. Munchnik begins as a dog hater, which Mr. Lobel complains about. Later, [[spoiler: after she has sex with him]], she gets down and pets his dogs.
