Review of The Christmas Chronicles (2018) by Davrosdaleks1 — 13 Dec 2018

Found this to be an enjoyable little Christmas film.

Kurt Russell is Santa Claus and it's everything you'd expect him to be. He manages to maintain his charm and swagger while keeping the basic core of Santa intact.

The film has a Home Alone-esque 90's feel to it with that right balance of heart and humor and like the films of that era surprising moments of darkness and pushing the edge a little while maintaining a PG rating.

Be forewarned that the movie mostly runs on the cast and presentation. The plot is full of Christmas tropes and you can pretty much predict everything.

Also, this is a modestly budgeted film. (I'm guessing that most of the money went toward Russell,) The sets and computer effects just look okay.
