I love Eddie Murphy and was so excited about this movie but this movie was just bad. Again, the plot and everything did not flow, was not heartwarming, very goofy, little evil not funny elf, ect... As some say there are woke ideas brought into it and it is not needed. Just plain bad. Of course, we have to throw a little shade at Jesus too, which is another not needed in a Christmas film and yes, let's add a little racism in there because we all need more of that instead of being one.
