La Course au jouet 2

Jingle All the Way 2 (2014) is a movie I recently watched on Disney+. The storyline follows a single dad with joint custody of his daughter. His ex-wife has remarried to a very successful and rich husband. The stepdad goes way out of his way to make the daughter happy and impress her causing insecurities in her real dad. When the daughter writes a letter to Santa Claus both dads compete to get her the toy of her dreams.

This movie is directed by Alex Zamm (Inspector Gadget 2) and stars Larry the Cable Guy (Cars 1 & 2), Brian Stepanek (Green Book), Anthony Carelli (Miss Persona), Lauren K. Robek (Cats & Dogs) and Eric Breker (Godzilla).

The storyline for this had potential but wasn't executed particularly well. The characters were well established and set-up and the premise was sloppy. The sequences to obtain the toys weren't fun or entertaining. There are a few good zingers and one liners; but overall, not enough to carry the movie. I did like the conclusion and resolve of the film.

Overall this is a bad addition to the holiday genre that I would score a 3/10 and recommend skipping.
