SunnyHello Nice effects though.
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Carson Folio When I saw this movie long ago on the Comcast guide back in 2008 (keep in mind, I was only 4 when this all happened) and I thought "Seriously? Someone made a movie about a thing I've never even heard of?" Then my parents walk in and say "What is this crap?", and since there was nothing to do, we decided to watch it and MY GOD, EVEN FOR BEING FOUR YEARS OLD AT THE TIME, I STILL THOUGHT IT WAS CRAP. It is totally frozen land (IHE reference) and just has no points of excitement. The ending seems like an idea that was rushed in under 5 minutes just to have a quick ending, the animation looks pretty poorly done (and my standards were pretty low at the time even) and going back to what I said earlier, it's boring (or, it's frozen land).Long story short, don't bother watching this. It's a bad story with bad animation, just bad bad and more bad. If you want to watch a good Christmas movie, watch something like the classics we ALL know.
darkghost3400 This movie is extremely cliché in all: not only the overused Christmas tropes but also Jake and his family. The animation style is very flawed. The drawing style is okay and well colored, but the animation lacks fluidity in many parts. The songs were laughable in the bad way, because they are just shoehorned and they don't contribute to the plot at all. And no, they are nor beautiful and there aren't good lyrics to compensate their gratuitous status.The plot is badly done, because they miss many things. In example, the time isn't enough to declare someone disappeared and Jake puts the people to taste a rotten fruitcake to prove Santa's innocence. There are many badly decided moments on this film. The Santa's idea also is poorly thought. Putting Grandma in his house? It would be far smarter to send her to a hospital. That way, all of Cousin Mel's gambit wouldn't happen. That is super idiotic and shows how weak is the storyline.Among the characters, no one is likable, relatable or interesting. At best, you can remember Cousin Mel and Grandma for being extremely attractive. Characters are too unbelievable, cliché and uninteresting to be memorable.The voice acting in general is decent, but Grandma's voice is beyond awful. She seems to have eaten helium and her voice is unbearable.This film is bad, but it can be kind of entertaining and you can laugh of the bad things of the film. It is watchable, at least.
tommypezmaster My next M/G Review after: "Bee Movie" This show is Pretty Good. It has some good stuff in When I;m bored. I'm Bored all the time and I sometimes watch it on December. I like Eight Crazy Night as well. This movie I'm gonna review short will get a B+. Here the Results: Voice-acting: B 7.5/10.0 Solid. Very nice and in High Quatily.Graphics: C 6.0/10.0 It's a little Blurry.Sound: A 8.0/10.0 Great Original Soundtrack.Dialouge: A+ 9.0/10.0 Great scripts and to make it Funnier they have woory about fruit cake.Lasting Appeal: B 7.0/10.0 What the *beep* Can I say? it has a Solid Lasting Appeal.Overall: B+ 7.8/10.0 This movie can go a little uphill more. That's all I have to say. It is however pretty short so I'm just gonna cut this. Good Day Everyone.
Sandy Johnson Trite and tiring, the one-liners almost made me cry. My 4 year old left the room and ended up doing a puzzle. I don't know what age group this was written for, but the writer himself/herself didn't even want credit. As for the song, it's mildly amusing. At least it was a decade ago. There are many Christmas movies to watch. Although I've seen some many more times than this, they are still enjoyable. Whenever this comes on, I try to encourage my child to watch something else. One positive note, that allowed a vote of 2 instead of 1, is that it encourages good moral values. That would have been encouraging, if anyone were watching.
