Review of Father Christmas Is Back (2021) by Lismahago — 08 Nov 2021

Father Christmas is Back is billed as a comedy, but it's actually a mystery, or several mysteries wrapped in an enigma. The enigma being "How did this turkey get made?" Or why assemble a cast for adults when the script is for children? Lots of bathroom jokes and the star is a toilet brush who brings more personality to the screen than Liz Hurley.

Or why do two sophisticated and sober sisters get into a food fight? Another one for the kiddies, perhaps. Or why do the cars pull into the half-acre parking area at the front of the manor house and stop 50 feet from the entrance? It's a big place - we get it.

Lots of mysteries and no answers here. Pass on this one if your older than 12.
