I was forced to watch this Christmas eve. Kurt Russell is Santa Claus and there's two kids who have an Adventures In Babysitting kind of night. Without looking anything up, because my interest in this only goes so far, I think it was a Disney joint. Don't know for sure but there was a big Disney wholesome behaviour vibe that got on my nerves.
If you have kids under seven they will love it. Or at least watch it with avid interest. I was hoping to catch White Christmas again but was overruled. There was a music number in the second half that didn't help things. Oh, and CGI elves that looked like a cross between Gremlins and Cabbage Patch dolls. I see merchandising opportunities aplenty. There were problems that the kids had to overcome (in five minutes or less) and everything was wrapped up in a nice Christmas bow at the end.
Movie-wise it was probably three and a half candy canes. For me it was brain garbage and probably killed more brain cells than the mulled apple cider and rum I was tippling.
There's a sequel too but ug.
