Les chroniques de Noël: deuxième partie

The thing with Christmas Day is that my wife absolutely wants to watch a Christmas movie. I remember watching the first Christmas Chronicle and it was passable. This sequel on the other hand is much too cheesy for adults to watch. I'm 53 by the way, so 45 years too old to be able to enjoy this kind of movies. But I get it that kids will like this movie, it's well made and it's magical for kids. But I'm not a kid anymore, so watching Darby Kamp and Jahzir Bruno during almost two hours is just too much for me. Those two kids are cringing to watch, I almost had to get my vomit bucket, it was that bad. So in résumé, if you want your offspring to shut up for a couple hours then this is the right movie to do so, but other than that I don't see the point of watching this as a normal adult.

Really liked the original but struggled through this one.

Not as good as the first.. but come on..Kurt Russell is the best Santa in forever lol!! And Goldie as Mrs. Clause!! Number 3??? Yes PLEASE!!

II thought it was worth watching. Kurt Russell is so enjoyable to watch in these movies. Just some Christmas fun.

2018 - "Hey, let's do a movie about Santa being stuck on earth on Christmas and he needs this dysfunctional family's help to get the presents delivered!"

2020 - "Hey, let's do another Santa movie, except this time let's take out everything that made it work the first time, throw in a ton of questionable CGI in every freakin' shot and let's gear it toward little kids . . and THEN, let's litter the entire movie with subtitles THAT THEY CAN'T READ!! That oughta work, right??"

Total mess . . it's like a horribly animated CGI version of Gremlins, written and directed by the guy who wrote . . . (wait for it . . ) GREMLINS!!!!

Way to go, one-trick-pony . . .
