Dwayne Johnson is the E. L. F. - Santa's bodyguard, Lucy Liu is head of Santa's covert operations, a beefcake Santa is surprisingly muscly
JK Simmons, who with Bonnie Hunt as Mrs. Santa, Kristopher Hidju as Krampus, & as shape-shifting witch Grylla, Kiernan Shipka head the cast in this fast and furious thriller meets Jumanji at Christmas movie which happens to be by Fast & Furious/Jumanji writers. How is it there's never been a film like this before? Inventive & fun, it's likely to reside in the annual Christmas film watchfest lineup. The satisfying story is full of twists and convoluted turns. A holiday winner.
Superb film which will make a lasting impact. Excellent ensemble cast.
Well researched writing & brilliant story.
The best Horror film of this Halloween season, The Apprentice handles the dehumanisation of young Donald Trump under his mentor of evil, Roy Cohn.
Bakalova's Ivanna represents Donald's last bit of empathy/humanity which he raped and discarded in his lust to be a "killer".
Timely.
Wonderfully directed.
Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong, Catherine McNally and Maria Bakalova all are fabulous nuanced in depth & intense.
Congratulations to Gabriel Sherman Ali Abassi & entire cast, producers and crew.

Solid musical based on the Nativity.
Clever lyrics, Very catchy songs - strong singers.
Mary and Joseph are central but the true protagonist is Antepater, Herod's first born son who becomes appalled and anguished at the increasing violent mad outbursts and orders of his Papa His story cleverly offers the opportunity later to reveal Mary's strength of Grace.
It is a unique take that clearly involved genuine faith.
Joel Smallbone is excellent both in vocal chops and acting ability, convincing as the tormented son of Antonio Banderas' power hungry Herod.
Lecrae has a small yet effective part as Gabriel. Strewn throughout is a lighthearted humour in the 3 wise guys, Gabriel, and Fig, Mary's donkey, who pretty much steals every scene he is in.
Most costumes and settings are lovely. Spain fills in reasonably as Israel and surrounding area. There are some very beautiful scenes. It is a film which will surely become a Christmas Classic.
The expertise of songwriter and director Anders and his 10 years dedication to this project shows.
